Question #77850 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77850

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
To install firefox 3.5 run:

sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

Firefox 3.5 is a seperate app in Jaunty and earlier, it is only a true
upgrade in Karmic at the moment. You are free to uninstall the old
3.0.11 if you see fit with:

sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

If you DO uninstall 3.0.11 I suggest you run this command to make life
easier:

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

It'l save you having to tweak all your apps to point to
/usr/bin/firefox-3.5

You do not need to use the mozilla website, it is on the repos.
