What distro are you using? If you are using a debian(ubuntu, mint etc) distro try to this type in the console:

sudo apt-get uptdate
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get uptdate

edit: long time since i used debian, correct me if i’m wrong

After some researching i found out Acer One runs Fedora*, which uses the Yum packet manager.

Here’s a guide on how you update using Yum:

Long story short:
Bring up a terminal and write:**
su -c 'yum update mozilla-firefox'

*Actually some alteration of Fedore called Linpus… read more on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One
** If you don’t know how to do this you press ALT+F2, then you write terminal
