This thread is outdated, check this thread: Install Firefox Latest Official Release in Ubuntu
As I have detailed in the post Firefox 3.5.1 in Ubuntu, I had installed the latest version. Only after that I found out that Firefox-3.5.1 have been officially released as Firefox-3.5.1 and Shiretoko was the codename.
So I installed Firefox-3.5.1 directly from their website. Here is how...
1. Download
Download firefox 3.5 setup from mozilla.com.
Archive filename: firefox-3.5.1.tar.bz2.
Save archive to /tmp.
2. Extract and Test
Extract the archive
cd /tmp; tar xvjf firefox-3.5.1.tar.bz2
The files will be extracted to directory named firefox.
Test Firefox
cd firefox
./firefox
./firefox
Firefox will start...
3. Installing
Now install this version as the main firefox installation.
cd /usr/lib
sudo mv /tmp/firefox firefox-3.5
cd ../bin
sudo ln -s -f ../lib/firefox-3.5/firefox firefox-3.5
sudo ln -s -f firefox-3.5 firefox
sudo mv /tmp/firefox firefox-3.5
cd ../bin
sudo ln -s -f ../lib/firefox-3.5/firefox firefox-3.5
sudo ln -s -f firefox-3.5 firefox
That will do the trick...
Another method is to use Ubuntuzilla. Check this thread...
