How do i update my firefox.

Hi I have installed ubuntu 10.4 using virtual box(a tool similar to vmware).
The problem is i m very familiar to firefox's window counterpart as the update is very simple.
I have also observed that the preference part of firefox is under edit tab which is not in case of window's (Its under tools).
How would i upgrade my firefox?

Firefox version on ubuntu.:3.6.8
Firefox version on windows:3.6.3

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:

Where do i define the update proxy as whenever i run system->Administration->update manager all update get failed.
My firefox is able to connect to internet.
also like to tell that my ubuntu is hosted on virtual box on bridge network.

Did you try any of the package manager front ends? Why not try to official Ubuntu forum Ubuntu Forums ? (1st hit on Google)
