Ray,

If I read what you say above correctly, you are still using v10.10 of 
Kubuntu, right?

If so then you ought to know that support by Canonical for 10.10 stopped 
in April - and it is now May. (You would have received and e-mail 
advising you about the EOL of 10.10 some time ago.)

You should be upgrading to at least the next version of Kubuntu, which 
is 11.04  - but keep it mind that this 11.04 will reach EOL (End Of 
Life) this coming October - ie, in 5 months time.

You should also know that Firefox is now currently at version 12 
(officially - but unofficially at v15 if you use the knightly builds). 
The upgrades since v9 which you are running contain many fixes including 
security fixes.

Therefore you would be wise to upgrade your Kubuntu which would also 
upgrade your Firefox.
