Firefox Update (43.0)

Firefox-Plasma is now available in version 43 in our repository.
Notice that this releases forces the signed addons so after upgrading you might need to explicitly update your addons manually to use them again.

I am on Netrunner 17.
The Firefox browser (43.0) ‘health check’ indicates: “Looks like you’re using an older version of Firefox.”
I tried:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
and reloaded Synaptics Package Manager
but no updated version of Firefox is available. I understand that the latest version of Firefox is 44.0.2.

In Software & Updates I noticed that there are two (2) entries of:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/plasmazilla/releases/ubuntu wily main (Source code)
both are ‘unchecked’.
And one (1) entry of:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/plasmazilla/releases/ubuntu wily main
which is ‘checked’.
I am unsure if this related to updating Firefox.
Can Firefox be updated to its latest version in Netrunner 17?
