Question #79140 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79140

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

will install 3.5 side by side with 3.0.11

3.5 is a seperate app to 3.0.11 in Jaunt but is a true upgrade in
Karmic. You can uninstall 3.0 without consequence, you will need to run:

sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox_old; sudo ln -s
/usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox

to save issues with apps expecting the /usr/bin/firefox program.
