Please do not mistake this for another post resembling installing Firefox 4.0 beta..I have no intention of that.
What I meant to ask was in Febrary or possibly march Firefox 4.0 will be officially released. Would the official repositories update to the latest version or should I install add the mozilla daily ppa to do this?
I am very keen on installing the latest version of firefox 4.o when it releases. The firefox website only provides .tar.bz2 files which means I need to compile from source. Hence the question if the official repository updates to firefox 4.0.

Ubuntu 11.04 will release with Firefox 4.0. However, other supported Ubuntu releases will remain with Firefox 3.6 in the medium term. When Firefox 3.6 approaches end-of-life, the other supported Ubuntu releases will be upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, although this may not be 4.0.
For those Ubuntu releases, we will provide semi-official packages of Firefox 4.0 in a PPA.
