I took the plunge and upgraded yesterday. My system originally had feisty, then was dist-upgraded to gutsy, now dist-upgraded to hardy. All files downloaded, but gstreamer complained and the upgraded "crashed". So I rebooted, got an error, and continued with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it went through more updates. I rebooted, grub still shows ubuntu 7.10, so another round of dist-upgrade, another reboot, and we were in business. Firefox 3 is the default, but I don't want to play with betas so I used synaptic to completely remove all firefox versions (2 and 3), removed /etc/firefox prefs, as I had my own working copy in /usr/local/bin downloaded from mozilla.com anyway. I then visit Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Get Extensions then search for noscript. Mozilla.com finds it, complains it is unsigned, downloads it, prompts me to install it, then at the Installing... window, immediately produces: "Error Firefox could not install the file at http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/27442/noscript-1.6.4-fx+mz+sm.xpi because: Unexpected installation error Review the Error Console log for more details. -203" then an OK button is the only choice. Tools > Error Console reveals: Error: installLocation has no properties Source File: file:///usr/local/bin/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js Line: 3938 Looks like many similar bugs have been filed but for other firefox components as well. What next?
