How to Update/Upgrade Mozilla Firefox to 36 Beta on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS) and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana via PPA

The Mozilla Firefox project is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform, supporting Linux, Android, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. It is a fast, small and very easy-to-use web browser/navigator/explorer that offers many advantages over other similar products, such as the ability to block pop-up windows and the feature-rich tabbed browsing experience.

For the past few months and editions, the Mozilla devs have made no change to the way add-ons are handled, which brought some stability, but now they have something in mind and it's unlikely that all the add-on devs will make the necessary changes in time. This means that after February 24, users who upgrade to the next version might find themselves without some of their add-ons.

The Mozilla devs published a comprehensive list of changes that will affect developers. "The automatic compatibility validation and upgrade for add-ons on AMO will happen within a week or two, so keep an eye on your email if you have an add-on listed on our site with its compatibility set to Firefox 35."

Also, some of the modifications for Firefox 36 include the removal of the -remote option, the addition of support for the ECMAScript 6 Symbol data type, improvements for CSS3, better native HTML5 playback on YouTube, and even a few changes for developers.
