So it seems it’s that time again…. either wait for Ubuntu 10.04 or install Firefox 3.6 your self. It’s not like it will crash the os by including 3.6 in a update….  anyway here is my Firefox 3.6 install guide for Ubuntu 9.10.

1. Download the latest Firefox 3.6 from http://getfirefox.com/
2. Run the Archive Manager as root by pressing alt+f2 and runing gksu file-roller
3. Open firefox-3.6.tar.bz2 from your Downloads folder
4. Extract the firefox folder to /opt/
5. Open Terminal from Accessories menu
6. Run the following commands
   1. sudo mv  /opt/firefox/Plugins /opt/firefox/Plugins-orig
   2. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-addons/Plugins /opt/firefox
   3. sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-orig
   4. sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin
7. You now got the latest Firefox installed
