Sorry but i'm not sure if i'm doing it!
Synaptic says i've installed: 
firefox_10.0~b3+build2-0ubuntu0.11.10.1~mfn1, Firefox says: 10.0, 
Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 and it works fine.
My repositories are: 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu
and: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu

I tried to install: firefox_10.0~b3+build2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but it 
would not install, i had problems with libglib2, eog, ubuntu-desktop, i 
had to uninstall the last two and in the it worked untill i turned off 
and on again my pc, nothing worked anymore i had only the desktop, no 
menu etc.; in the end i could open synaptic and managed to set 
everything right.

Title:
  Firefox 8 User Agent String "Ubuntu;" addition causes attempt to
  download rather than display

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The patch added by Chris Coulson in the FF 8 packages to add "Ubutnu;"
  to FireFox's User Agent string has caused some sites to start offering
  a download of a "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" or similar file.

  This change seems to have caused an issue with 51degrees.com's .NET
  Mobile Framework. Visiting a site that uses the framework now prompts
  to download an "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" file.

  Obviously, this is likely the fault of the framework, and not Ubuntu.
  But I felt it should be logged, and I could not find any launchpad bug
  regarding this change.

  > Description: Add "Ubuntu" to the platform part of the UA string
  > Author: Chris Coulson <chris.coulson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

  The User Agent changed from:

  > Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101
  Firefox/7.0.1

  to

  > Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101
  Firefox/8.0
