You only need to do:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE

You only need to add the bit after the / in:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
Signing key:  	  1024R/247510BE

I prefer to get my 'nightly' builds from mozilla directly:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/
 and glad I do after reading about this fiasco:
