Firefox 3.5 Install on Ubuntu

Go get Firefox from the official site

tar -xjf firefox-3.5.tar.bz2

Rename firefox directory to firefox-3.5

mv firefox firefox-3.5

Move firefox-3.5 to /usr/lib

sudo mv firefox-3.5 /usr/lib

Now create a shortcut on your panel. The easiest way to make a new launcher, with the Firefox logo, is to copy the old one (or edit it) and change the path to

/usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox

All together that is

wget http://less.cogeco.net/ftp/mozilla-releases/firefox/releases/3.5/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.5.tar.bz2
tar -xjf firefox-3.5.tar.bz2
mv firefox firefox-3.5
sudo mv firefox-3.5 /usr/lib
