<pre wrap="">As stated - the "Software Updater" shows me Firefox and any other updates. I have tried 98
per cent of Ubuntu's servers. I have also tried with ethernet and wifi. I have tried to just
download not install the package. I have tried every possibility for over 4 weeks.
The result? Failure. Failure on ethernet. Failure on wifi. Failure on 98 per cent of the
world's repositories.
In fact I have given up on Firefox. I have downloaded and installed files much larger than
Firefox - but Firefox always fails. I apply all other security fixes - but not Firefox.
As there is no fix to this problem - I will wait till I get back to the UK in about a couple
of months.
Thanks for all your replies
David

Hi David,<br>
Your initial e-mail was a bit unclear whether you were using the
official repos or not, but this e-mail explains it very clearly.<br>
It may very well be that your ISP is having some troubles. You
might check with them to see if you can get the issue resolved.<br>
You can also manually download it if you need. <br>
<a href="http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/">http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/</a><br>
(bottom of the page)<br>
something like<br>
<a
href="http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_42.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_42.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb">http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_42.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb</a></a><br>
