8.04

I am using ubuntu 8.04 because of my hardware restrictions. I followed the steps to install latest firefox as i can use but i get firefox 3.6 could not found response:

For Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Users
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
Save and exit the file

Now you need to add PPA GPG key
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE
Update the source list
sudo apt-get update
Install Firefox 3.6
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6
If you already have a version of Firefox 3.5 installed from a repo then upgrade using the following command
sudo apt-get upgrade
