"Looking to upgrade to Firefox 3.6? On Windows and the Mac, you
don't need to do much more than download a file, perform a few
clicks, and you're done. But for the moment, if you want to upgrade
it on Linux, you'll be in a world of pain unless you're a very
experienced Linux user. It's one more piece of evidence that Linux
needs plenty of help if it wants to crack the mass market.
,p>"Upgrading on a Windows machine is simplicity itself.
Download a file, run it, follow the prompts, and you're done. On
the Mac it's even easier; download the file, do a drag operation,
and you're done. And that's just if you want to get the upgrade
right away. At some point, Firefox will essentially do the upgrade
itself.
"How about on Linux --- specifically Unbuntu, the version most
people see as the one best suited for mass use? Good luck..."
