[Malvern] Upgrading to Firefox

[Ian Pascoe]

Support for Edgy is long gone in Ubuntu.  Although you'll find the necessary
upgrade path to any currently supported version by using the delights of Mr
Google, I would certainly advocate ....

1.  Backing up all precious data to either CD or external drive
2.  Do a fresh install to whichever distro you want

3.  Bring your data back in

Although Linux distro upgrades are miles better than M$, there still tends
to be a lot of dross left around that could cause problems and unexpected
behaviours at some point.

On an older release such as Edgy you may have to use the older
ubuntuzilla.py Python script. I've never tried that script on anything
older than Feisty.

Just a point:- you may like to edit your posts so that you don't so
clearly expose email addresses for harvesters.

Good luck,
