Just use KPackagekit to un-install Firefox. If you want a complete removal, backup you bookmarks and also delete the .mozilla folder in your Home folder. Then re-install using Kackagekit. That should get it done. Also, make sure your Adobe Flash is up to date, if you have Flash installed.  

For the record, you might want to update your Firefox altogether, as V 3.6 is rather old. See: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Firefox-4-in-Ubuntu-10-04-and-10-10-224696.shtml

Ray,

absolutely. Firefox 3.6 is fully outdated. So Firefox 7 is
exactly what you will want to use.

Kind regards

There is no need for a deb. Simply download the latest
release from mozilla.

Then, just as an example, decompress the download to
/opt/firefox

or unzip and then move the resulting directory to /opt as
root, i.e. with sudo mv <directory> /opt

And then use /opt/firefox/firefox to start firefox

When you want to update your firefox, do, just for the
update purposes,
sudo /opt/firefox/firefox

Surely, you can also use firefox from your home, but then
other users will not have the latest firefox realease for
them to use.

 Eberhard Roloff,

so just type in a terminal "sudo /opt/firefox/firefox", and then that
will auto update my firefox to
current release?

Not specifically. That will run firefox as root, which will then allow
the update process you still need to select from the menus to actually
function. This method is required because /opt/firefox, in the above
scenario, is owned by root. An alternative to this is to change the
group ownership on /opt/firefox and all subdirectories and files from
root to some other group that exists, then add write privileges to the
group attributes for everything under the /opt/firefox tree, then add
the group to your userid, which will then give your id the necessary
privileges to then be able to run firefox without the requirement for
sudo to update firefox. This is the process I am using for firefox 8 in
another distribution.

Steve

 Eberhard Roloff,

It seems very complicated to me, is there an easy way to download it
as I thing my kpackagekit in
k10.10 mm not working as since I installed on my new computer (dual
core) no updates have
come up since about the 4th of October 2011?

where user.user  is the username to run firefox...       ray.ray ??

Well if it were me, ...Oh wait!  It IS me!  I installed Ubuntu Tweak then
checked the box in front of Firefox Stable Channel Packages and it will
upgrade you to there without any further problems!  Mine on 10.04 is 7.0.1 and
the only thing I don't like is the small refresh button.  Besides, you'll like
Ubuntu Tweak I'd bet!  And yes, I run the KDE version of Ubuntu, it is STILL
Ubuntu, not Gnome!

In "Source Center" then under "Browser".  You'll have to "Unlock" to check the
box  in front of "Firefox Stable Channel Packages" and then Ubuntu Tweak will
add the PPA for you to your normal updater list when you "Sync".
