First, download the tarball from the official website, then uncompress it using:

#tar -xvjf firefox-3.5.2.tar.bz


Then, place the firefox directory somewhere inside your home directory, I have downloaded in /home/ubuntu/Public directory. Next, make a shortcut to the firefox executable – right click on the desktop, click on Create Launcher, and at the Command field enter the command below or browse the firefox folder. Also close previously opened firefox.

/home/ubuntu/Public/firefox/firefox -P

The -P switch will start Firefox 3.5.2 using the profile manager, so from here all you need to do is to create a new profile for your Firefox 3.5.2
