Hello:

I think you can not install parallel two different firefox packages.
In case you want to test 3.5 or 3.6 and keep 3.0 you have to go with
mozilla official binary as others have already suggested.
Download the tar.gz file from mozilla site and unpack it wherever you
want. In the unpacked firefox folder there is the binary firefox file
you can run. If you want to test the new version and keep the old version
as well the best to create a new profile for the new version. Close all
firefox instances and run the new firefox:
path-to-new-firefox/firefox -ProfileManager

You can set the new profile. After this you can run/use your new profile with:
path-to-new-firefox/firefox -P <newprofile-name> -no-remote

If you use the -no-remote option you can even run the two different versions
at the same time; don't forget to add -P option. If you forget to add -P
the new firefox version will use your old profile and overwrite things.

Cheers,
Istvan
