Sorry i made error, the previuos repository is for the daily build of
Firefox development release

Open a terminal and please remove the latest 2 repositories sources rows
added previously into your /etc/apt/sources.list file type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you
type it, then press enter

Save and exit

then...

To get stable release of Firefox-3.5 you must add a repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list
 this repository https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa

In short please open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories
→ Terminal and type or copy and paste, one row a time then press enter:

echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu'
$(lsb_release -cs)' main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-
security/ppa/ubuntu' $(lsb_release -cs)' main' | sudo tee -a
/etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you
type it, then press enter

Then add this repository gpg key copy and paste this row into terminal
and then press enter:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys
A6DCF7707EBC211F

Then update your system type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

Hope this helps
