Before continuing, please note that I've only tested Firefox 4 from the PPA below in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat and while there shouldn't be any issues in Ubuntu 10.04, use it at your own risk. The Firefox 4 PPA (stable) below is semi-official but it doesn't include all the packages available in the Ubuntu repositories (so for example, you'll have to manually install a language pack if you want Firefox in your language - see below).
How to install Firefox 4 in Ubuntu 10.10 / 10.04 from the Firefox PPA (stable)
Ubuntu Mozilla Daily PPA: sure, if you like bleeding edge software, this PPA is ok but this PPA will never provide stable builds so one day, Firefox might stop working or corrupt your profile. Further more, this PPA will also upgrade Thunderbird to the latest daily builds. So if you want Firefox stable, go with the solutions below!
Ubuntuzilla: the Ubuntu devs had to push some fixes to the official Firefox builds just so they don't get so many bug reports that come from those using Ubuntuzilla. Check out this (via ).
No, using Ubuntuzilla or the Mozilla Daily PPA (well, this PPA is relatively ok but you'll never get stable builds so you might start receiving Firefox 4.1 alpha updates - or whatever the next Firefox version will be called -, as soon as Firefox 4 is released) is not the proper way to install Firefox 4. Why?
Firefox 4 (stable) will be released soon and I though I'd let you know how to install it in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick or 10.04 Lucid from a PPA - the proper way (from the semi-official Firefox 4 PPA).
