      W: Failed to fetch “http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox-globalmenu_26.0+build2-0ubuntu0.13.04.2_amd64.deb”

      Any ideas please share?

        @Athi, Canonical has dropped support for Ubuntu 13.04 Raring. So the packages might be removed (not sure) from the server. You’d better to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Long-Term Support).
