Where can I download a pre-compiled Firefox binary for an "lpia" based netbook (not i386) Intel Atom HP Mini running Ubuntu Linux 2.6 please?
The original (current) Firefox 3.0 browser version is insufficient because most website content is no longer compatible. I can't get the package manager to upgrade at all, so I want to find a newer Firefox binary that I can load and use to make the Internet browser, and hence, the computer functional once again. Thank you.

Ubuntu Linux 2.6 ??
The first version back in 2004 was Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog).
At any rate, you're going to need to upgrade to a newer version of Linux to be able to install a much newer version of Firefox.

GNU/Linux Software Requirements Please note that GNU/Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements. Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages: GTK+ 2.18 or higher GLib 2.22 or higher Pango 1.14 or higher X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended) libstdc++ 4.3 or higher For optimal functionality, we recommend the following libraries or packages: NetworkManager 0.7 or higher DBus 1.0 or higher HAL 0.5.8 or higher GNOME 2.16 or higher
Unfortunately, upgrading Linux does not seem to be an option for this old HP Mini 1000 Netbook. Or if it is, I have not yet discovered the magic necessary to convert it. ;-)
