First download Firefox .tar.bz2 file to your home directory, then run these commands:

cp -R ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup

[code]sudo tar -jxvf firefox-3*.tar.bz2 -C /opt
rm firefox-3*.tar.bz2

sudo mv /opt/firefox/plugins /opt/firefox/plugins.backup

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins /opt/firefox/plugins

sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox
