Since it's included in Hardy:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and you have it :)

You'd be better off waiting for it to come through the update manager (in about a week or so I'd imagine :))

The version currently in the repo's is still RC1, the Final version won't be there until about a week as I stated above.

And yes - I do know it says "Firefox 3.0" in the about dialog...that doesn't stop it being the RC :)

I prefer using Synaptic Package Manger or Update Manger, so as they say wait for Firefox being added

but there's many other cases that you have to install tar packages:
*.tar.bz2 means there's some files compressed. It can contain everything.
To compile a program (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware), first decompress the source code into a folder, open terminal and go to the path where the source code is, then write

./configure
make
makeinstall

take care
