I have Firefox 2.0 installed using a script which someone suggested.
On dapper drake. I can now access Firefox 2 from the Icon on the top
start bar. However, my problem is everytime the system wants to
update, it wants to revert to 1.5. How do I get rid of this?

My possible solution was that I was thinking of changing all the repos
in the sources.list file to edgy fiesty I think. This would allow me
access to version 2.0 in the edgy repo's. Also I would get all the
latest edgy updates. Or is this a really bad idea?

If so how do I stop the software update stop trying to update 2.0.0.1
to 1.5? Or downgrade as it were.

Thanks.

Is Firefox 1.5 still installed? If so, uninstall it.

Editing sources.list doesn't seem to be the recommended way to do a
system upgrade:
