I am having trouble with FF. I had ff when I first installed LM 13 MATE on my Toshiba Satellite laptop a few months ago. But I could not update it. I posted a question here to the forum but did not get a response. So I Figured I would uninstalll/reinstall to see if that fixed my problem. I have not been able to reinstall since. I am using OPERA now but I prefer FF.
So here is the basic procedure. I try to install FF thru the Update Manager and it fails. So I open Synaptic and it says I have a broken package. firefox-globalmenu. I select it and click Fix Broken Package and nothing happens. I try to reinstall. It says that I have dependancy problems because FF is not installed. I can't install FF because ff-gm is broken. SO I try to delete ff-gm.
I get this error message

I have searched and read and watched youtube videos until I have ubuntu coming out of my ears but I can't find a solution to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
