you could try ubuntuzilla

It is recommended that you use the ubuntuzilla repository rather than 
download individual files.

Read the instructions on the project website, 
http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/ for details.
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29


echo -e "\ndeb 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" \
| sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

but be aware you will be some what on the bleeding edge
