Install Mozilla Firefox 3.6 in Ubuntu 9.10
Mozila Firefox 3.6 is released with improved speed and one click persona support. I am explaining  how I installed Mozilla on my Ubuntu 9.10. I downloaded latest mozilla firefox for linux and stored at a location on my home folder called ‘dload’. This would be a seperate installation and your old version of Firefox will be still available, but latest version is set as default. Also it will retain your old setting.

Steps to install Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu:-

sudo tar -C /opt/ -xvf ~/dload/firefox-3.6.tar.bz2 [extract new firefox in /opt]
sudo ln -sf /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox   [link new firefox ]

That is all, close firefox if it is open and re-open.New firefox will be loaded.
