This Firefox version fixes many bugs etc. Why it was ignored
when another packages has been updated? Will there be an
update for Firefox on 12.04 LTS? <br>

No, there won't be another Firefox update for 12.04 LTS. The latest
Firefox release requires GCC 4.9 to build, and we decided that it
was not worth the effort to backport a new toolchain in order to
provide a new version of Firefox 9 days before the release is
officially end-of-life.<br>
