Yes but I doubt that is where your issue is. Can we assume that you are
using the version of Firefox that came with your build of Ubuntu or did
you download it and install it from some other source?

The 2 are unrelated. apt-get is a front-end to dpkg which is the debian
installer.

Yes, but why would you not be using synaptic? System / Administration /
Synaptic Package Manager and find firefox and right click and choose
reinstall or complete removal (after you've renamed ~/.mozilla)
