John Vivirito: I only asked for backporting the single most prominent
mozilla app, firefox, so not backporting *most* mozilla apps should not
exclude this one; and agreed: it is not a good idea to backport an
unstable release, but IMHO it *is* a good idea to backport the long
awaited *stable* 3.5 release (not the shiretoko!).

Fortunately it worked for me just to expand the Linux package from
mozilla.com to /usr/lib, rename the firefox dir to firefox-3.5, create a
symlink /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 to /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox. The
symlink /usr/bin/firefox, up to then pointing to firefox-3.0 and now to
firefox-3.5, allows to switch between the versions that share a common
profile. The majority of users however would need a more official way
through the package management I guess.
