Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Could you detail the steps you followed to install Firefox 9?

You may have installed from a .tar.gz, the Firefox site makes 9.0.1
available in that format for Linux. However, .tar.gz packages are not
handled by Ubuntu's packaging system (software center and apt-get), and
thus the OS tools would show the version originally included with the
system. You may have ended up with either a bad installation of Firefox,
or two installed versions.

Anyway, if you let me know how you installed Firefox 9, I may be better
able to handle this bug report.

Thanks!
