There was a Firefox update last month.
I assume you have Firefox installed.
What version do you have?  (In Firefox:  Help > About Mozilla Firefox)
It should be 3.0.4.

In System > Administration > Software Sources,
(a) On the "Updates" tab, do you have "Check for updates" ticked?
(b) On the "Ubuntu Software" tab, are "main" and "universe" ticked?
(c) On the "Ubuntu Software" tab, on the "Download from" menu,
     try choosing "Other..." then "Select Best Server"
     to test your connection to the repositories.

(Note:  I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 -- some of the above may be in different 
places in 8.04.)
