Here's what the page says, in case you didn't try visiting it with
firefox in Ubuntu ;-)

Firefox on Ubuntu
You appear to be using the Firefox package provided by Ubuntu Linux.
Ubuntu distributed a new version of Firefox which contains the security
fixes from Firefox 1.0.4, however, they did not update the version
number, so we have no way to tell whether your copy of Firefox contains
the security fixes or not. A request to Ubuntu to update the version
number has been filed at Ubuntu Bug 10681. A workaround you can use to
get access to addons.mozilla.org is given in comment 3 on that bug.
Please ensure you have updated to the latest Firefox package using
apt-get, Synaptic, or the Ubuntu Update Manager before trying the
workaround.
