Well, it might be because I am just not used to Ubuntu enough or understand it enough, but I am thinking along the the same lines as Windows, when you update FF it automatically updates to the next Version, and keeps your profile. I tried on my netbook, and it didnt update to 3.5, it installed a separate version, and didnt include my profile and the addons box would not show the addons, it said could not load addons. That was recommended or installed addons. So, I now have two versions of FF on my netbook, and I dont want that on my netbook or laptop. How come it doesnt update to 3.5, but keeps it as a separate version?

If I uninstall 3.0.11, I will loose my profile on there, how do I keep the profile and transfer. It seems a bit confusing to me. Sorry. 

John.
