I don't think Firefox 3.5 is meant to replace Firefox 3 in Jaunty. Last time I checked Firefox 3.5 in Jaunty was also a beta. I am running Karmic and I have installed 3.5 from the repositories, alongside 3 as you said, but I have left 3 on there, and just changed the /usr/bin/firefox symlink to point to /usr/bin/firefox-3.5. The menu button then runs Firefox 3.5 when you click on it. Add-ons may need re-releasing by the original authors to be compatible with 3.5. As with any new firefox release it takes a little while for the add-on authors to get them sorted. I'm not sure what you mean by profile. I presume you mean Bookmarks, History and Saved Passwords. Mine just followed me over. Dan -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
