Version 3.5 is already within Jauntys repo......just needs a final update when 3.5 is ready.
Package info: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/firefox-3.5
For latest version of both 3.5 and 3.6 you can use Ubuntus Mozilla teams ppa

I have been using the mozilla daily ppa for intrepid and jaunty.
Sweet, hopefully it will be default in Alpha 1.
Does this run alongside normal firefox or instead of? I need firefox to check my bank online :p

it runs alongside normal firefox, it comes up in the app menu as Shiretoko Web Browser
These 2 new versions come up as other browsers that run alongside FF 3.0.10. Version 3.5 beta 4 shows up as Shiretoko. Version 3.6 alpha 1 shows up as Minefield. Both are listed as such in Applications --> Internet.
There's also a new version of Thunderbird 3.0. It shows up as Shredder 3 Mail/News. Almost all of the add-ons and themes are not working at this point; however, NoScript and WOT both work. Good luck.
I got 3.5 running and damn if it not the fastest Firefox ever build and it stable memory wise at around 100mb a pity considering how much memory Firefox use to leak. And I have not done any about:config tweek yet. Mozilla is going to make one hell of a bang with that browser!

Got any add-ons working or are you using nightly tester tools?
A lot of the add-ons already work with 3.5, I only use a few (adblock, hide menubar and smart bookmarks) but all of those are fine
I just added and installed 3.5. This thing is awsome and fast. Now if the add-ons would come up to speed...

Add-ons ? I use it to browse the content available in the www. Not to play with add-ons ;) (notice the wink)
It sure is fast but memory usage is excessive with adobes 64-bit flash plugin. Then again, running with radeon driver, which explains jerking and tearing...

@taavikko: you get the graphics issues with radeon too? I thought I was the only one experiencing the "jerking," as you put it. Perhaps I just don't know how to describe the problems adequately.

Radeon driver running
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series [1002:95c4]
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:3600]"Jerking" is subtle, best observed in flash. No mentionable while watching content via "smplayer || mplayer"
Ah... same here w/ the radeon driver, but also during massive screen updates. Oh well... it'll be fixed sooner or later lol.``` 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device ff00
Just make sure you file a bug report ;)
