As Mozilla has stopped the support (no more security patches) for Firefox

shipped with 3.0.6 (this situation was properly advised on Releases
Notes), I wonder what could be the best way to install the latest Firefox
64 bits version.
I'm afraid the answer is "build it from source yourself". There's no
official 64-bit tarball (and most likely there won't be any before
Firefox 4.0), and builds from other distributions will likely require
newer libraries than available in Lenny.
Alexander Reichle-Schmehl added Iceweasel 3.5 and the complementing
xulrunner release to backports.org a few days ago. So far I can see build
packages for amd64 and ppc.

If and when backports of Iceweasel 3.6 will be available depends on when
it will enter testing and if it's possible to build it on lenny.

The latest firefox is 3.7.
I'm running firefox 3.6 Beta4 and it runs as a charm (amd64).
