Question #77592 on firefox-3.5 in ubuntu changed:

You could download the .tar.gz from the mozilla site and use that. The
tar.gz is a binary and you will need to uninstall firefox-3.5 which you
installed using the repo and symlink /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 to wherever
you store the app. I personally think it will achieve the same end but
if you have a few minutes to spare it doesn't hurt to try.

Using this method will also not update the program using automatic
updates, as the app is not installed using the repository, so the
repository will not update the app.

I personally suggest you stick with the shiretoko version which will
upgrade gracefully. "Shiretoko" IS still firefox. Is this a problem?
