    Yep, Firefox 14.0.1. Thank you very much for your help.

    Ok, thank you. Now it's done. So, I assume we now just have to wait for blue-shell's package of Firefox 15. Should I change priority back to 1000?

    In nano ctrl>X asks you to save the file. You answer YES with Y to confirm, then hit enter. The file name is "blue-shell-firefox-kde-pin-1000" no extra file extension (i.e. save) is necessary.

    Thanks guys. Changed over to Blue Shell ppa and created the file with the pin code. Ran update and then dist-upgrade and now it shows a firefox 15 upgrade which I assume is from Canonical. Confused! Mind you I'm still using Sumki's 14.1 package for firefox.

    You should now use the blue-shell ppa maintained by kubuntu devs; sumski's ppa for firefox is no longer maintained. FF15 is not yet in the ppa. Let them some time...

    Yes. Since the Kubuntu Team deciden to maintain Firefox with KDE compatiblity there had no sense to sumski do it the same thing.
