    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Firefox 3.5 is not an upgrade in Jaunty, only in karmic andlater. You
can install 3.5 using

sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

you will now have 2 firefoxes installed as 3.5 will not upgrade the
3.0.11. You can uninstall 3.0.11 if you wish, if you do. I strongly
recommend you run:

sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox; ln -s `which firefox-3.5` /usr/bin/firefox

to smooth your life over. You will also need to reinnstall your addons
as the ones you have are for 3.0.11 and not 3.5 and you may lose adons
as the devs may not have caught up yet.
