Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs.

Here are the instructions for new versions of firefox:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion

You cannot upgrade directly from 3.0.11 to 3.5.1, you can install the firefox-3.5 package alongside firefox-3.0 and it will import your profile on the initial install.

Can you help with this problem?
