updating firefox

[Montana68]

I have downloaded fire fox update but need to be told how to install it. I can use the terminal but need the commands to install it. It is the download file so I will need to put it on the desktop I guess.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm a newbie so I'll need simple instructions.
Thank you for your help in advance.

What is the name of the file you downloaded?

Hello daark.child
I downloaded Firefox file. That is the name of it. I go to the Firefox site and download the latest update.
Thank you.

To stay updated to the latest FireFox in Ubuntu 10.04, I did this in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Running 7.0.1 now.

Hello jayd512
I would like to ask you do I click the enter key after each entry or wait till I type in the last entry?
I ask this because I'm a newbie and not sure what to do.
Thank you.

I was just thinking I do this while I'm off line or can I do this while I'm on line at the site? Do I need to be at the site while on line or can I do it while I'm surfing? Then type in the commands and let the computer do Its thing.
Sorry about the questions but want to make sure I know what I'm doing. I need real simple instructions and thorough, since I'm a real newbie.
Thank you for your help.

Correct. Those are 3 different commands, so just open up a terminal window, and do them one at a time.
Like so:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable

Hit 'Enter'. If asked for your password, type that in. If you notice that your screen isn't displaying asterisk's (*) or dots when you type your password, that's a security feature.

sudo apt-get update

Press 'Enter'.

sudo apt-get upgrade

You guessed it... 'Enter'.

Restart Firefox, and you should be good to go.

*EDIT*
And, yes, you can stay on the site while you do this. No worries
