No symlink is required or should be used:

1. Download the 64 bit version from here:
<http://nightly.mozilla.org/>
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-4.0b10pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2>

2. Delete whatever you have in /home/jfb/firefox, or create a new
folder: /home/jfb/Firefox4 and copy the
firefox-4.0b10pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 there. Go to the folder,
right-click the bz2 and select 'extract here'. Go to
/home/jfb/Firefox4/firefox and double-click on 'firefox' and then run.
If you already have other versions of FF installed they will be used
from your standard ~/.mozilla folder.

Mine:
