marcobra (Marco Braida) proposed the following answer:
I confirm to you the keyserver.ubuntu.com is working

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A6DCF7707EBC211F
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A6DCF7707EBC211F
gpg: requesting key 7EBC211F from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 7EBC211F: public key "Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu Mozilla Security Team" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)


By the way please try a different gpg keyserver
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys A6DCF7707EBC211F

Here the result of the command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys A6DCF7707EBC211F
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys A6DCF7707EBC211F
gpg: requesting key 7EBC211F from hkp server wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net
gpg: key 7EBC211F: "Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu Mozilla Security Team" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

save and exit then add the key with this command:

sudo apt-key add mygpg.key

then run the update and install the firefox-3.5 package in a terminal
type:

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