Re: [orca-list] thunderbird very verbose

[Michael Weaver <weavermicha googlemail com>]

How do I upgrade to this latest version in Ubuntu?
Someone mentioned accessibility PPA only I looked and it said something about adding a line to sources.list I 
think but I am not confident about doing this if this the correct information and if I might screw up my 
system by doing this. 
The line starts with http and the guide nice I found refers to you adding the version of Ubuntu you are using 
in this line.
