That would be your own fault, not the nice people of Ubuntu.  You seem
to have a package called firefox installed that is blocking the install
of the official Ubuntu mozilla-firefox.  Simply uninstall firefox and
mozilla-firefox should install fine.  Please remember that using
unofficial sources can always break your system in unexpected ways.
