Unlike Windows and Mac, Linux Ubuntu users may find confusion if they’re new to Linux. You can follow these two methods for downloading and Updating Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu Linux via BlogsDna or you can always check out the official guide from Firefox itself
The following instructions will install Firefox into your home directory, and only the current user will be able to run it.
- Download Firefox from the Firefox download page to your home directory.
- Open a Terminal and extract the contents of the downloaded file.

- To start Firefox, run the firefox script in the firefox folder.
~/firefox/firefoxFirefox should now start. You can then create an icon on your desktop to run this command.
