George proposed the following answer:
"Shiretoko is a national park in Northern Japan – it is also the
codename for the latest version of Firefox." --

You can uninstall Firefox 3.0.x, but you may find that the search tool no longer works in 3.5.x.   It appears that
both versions are using /usr/lib/firefox-addons <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/393978>, so there is a potential that only one version will work,
and removing one probably affects the other, so it would be better to uninstall both an then install
the version you want to use.   You can use Mozilla "add-ons" to install new search tools if yours break, so it should not be an insurmountable problem.
