Download it an install it from Mozilla?

While these instructions are primarily for installing "new" versions of
FF, you should be able to modify to install 2x [note: do *not* just do a
general uninstall of your existing FF as it's likely to break other
things on your system]

Afterwards, you might find ubuntuzilla helpful:
