There does not seem to be an “oneiric” release for ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable.
I keep getting the following when I try to use Update Manager.

sorry for this (POST UPDATED)
There is no Firefox-stable PPA for Oneric. try this
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox
To uninstall a ppa and revert to the default version
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
