You have two way:
The hard: join the Firefox developer team and write your code to improve FF2 to pass acid 3 test
The simple: try to install Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 7.10, i don't know if it is into Ubuntu 7.10 repository:
Please try yourself open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Make acid 3 test from here using firefox3: http://acid3.acidtests.org/

Hope this helps

Open FF2 save (export) your bookmarks and take not of your setting or installed addons and settings and remove Firefox2 then install FF3 from repository.

I suggest you to install Firefox 3 from Ubuntu repository.

To remove FF2 and install FF3 open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox-2
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
