I have always worked on the basis that one of the reasons for going with 
Linux is the ability to install *anything* from source if, and when, you 
want to.

You can, as Eamonn says, run as many different versions of Firefox as 
you want simultaneously... just install 1.0 and then use it instead... 
and update the shortcut on the menu bar to the new one if you'd rather 
use that one.
