If it is not possible from firefox itself, try the package management of Ubuntu. I guess since it is Debian based, there are tools like:
X:
- synaptic
Command line:
- aptitude
- apt-get
- dselect
Just found a link to synaptic on Ubuntu:

I am using Solaris 10, and trying to keep a number of old Sun
workstations running.
Since version 17 of firefox, I have had problems using pkgadd,
and had to use tar to un-archive the components of firefox.
Is this just a problem with firefox (and probably thunderbird),
or is pkgadd broken (1 Reply)

SE_DPKG(8) NSA SE_DPKG(8)
NAME
se_dpkg,se_apt-get,se_aptitude,se_dpkg-reconfigure,se_dselect,se_synaptic - run a Debian package system programs in the proper security
context
SYNOPSIS
se_dpkg [ <<dpkg ARGS>> ... ]
se_apt-get [ <<apt-get ARGS>> ... ]
se_aptitude [ <<aptitude ARGS>> ... ]
se_dpkg-reconfigure [ <<dpkg-reconfigure ARGS>> ... ]
se_dselect [ <<dselect ARGS>> ... ]
se_synaptic [ <<synaptic ARGS>> ... ]
DESCRIPTION
These programs are all symbolic links to a simple wrapper script that uses run_init to run actually run the corresponding program after
setting up the proper context. run_init acquires a new Psuedo terminal, forks a child process that binds to the pseudo terminal, forks the
program (dpkg,apt-get,aptitude,synaptic,dselect,ordpkg-reconfigure) that the user actually needs to run, and then sits around and connects
the physical terminal it was invoked upon with the psuedo terminal, passing keyboard into to the child process, and passing the output of
the child process to the physical terminal.
It sets up the psuedo terminal properly based on the physical terminal attributes, and then sets the user's terminal to RAW mode, taking
care to reset it on exit.
