I fixed it using the --force-overwrite option of dpkg:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite \
/var/cache/apt/archives/mozilla-firefox_1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb \
/var/cache/apt/archives/mozilla-firefox-gnome-support_1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb

You'll get a lot of warnings on your screen, but it will work
