Since you're on Ubuntu, why don't you start learning the ropes of the Plan 9 programming environment by compiling/running 9vx on Ubuntu and then hitting the papers? That way you can easily continue to use Mozilla and invest minimal time before being able to actually get something out of Plan 9 (you'll need to write some file servers as well as thoroughly appreciate the concurrency model).
You'll find 9vx is also a great utility for more effectively using Linux. Inside 9vx, you should also see 'man 1 abaco' and decide if you really need Mozilla.
