title: Is there a way to get Selenium 2.23 on Ubuntu 11.10?
body: <p>I was using Firefox 12 with Selenium::WebDriver (ver 2.22) and everything was working fine.  Then I, stupidly, upgraded to Firefox 13 via the Ubuntu weekly updates.  Selenium (2.22) could not control FF 13 so I went out and got Selenium 2.23.  Then I started getting some weird behavior and thought it was my hard drive.</p>
  
  <p>Stupid mistake number #2 I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 on my primary hard drive (thinking I was actually doing it to a backup drive but the backup only held backups of my scripts not an entire image of my primary).</p>
  
  <p>So I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and I didn't think upgrading would be such a big deal (I believe I was using 11.04 previously but it might have been 10 something).  In the past upgrading Ubuntu versions has solved most issues for me not crated new ones.  Prior to 11.10 I used the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo gem update --system
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to upgrade all the gems and got Selenium 2.23 when I did it.  Now in 11.10 I get a message about update --system having been removed in Debian blah, blah, blah use apt-get.  However, apt-get leaves me with Selenium 2.22 not 2.23 and Selenium still can't control FF 13.</p>
  
  <p>I tried guessing and used the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo gem install selenium-webdriver-2.23.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>hoping to upgrade my selenium that way but no luck.</p>
  
  <p>So after multiple attempts at getting Selenium 2.23 I downgraded FF to 12 and tested that FF 12 could be controlled via the IRB.  FF 12 immediately upgraded itself to FF 13.0.1 and now I'm back to square one.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get Selenium 2.23 on Ubuntu 11.10?</p>
