I literally a minute ago upgraded my firefox from 3.5.3 to 3.5.5. I
*always* do it as follows:
as root, cd to where it's installed (for me, /opt)
rm firefox
bunzip2 /whereIsavedit/firefox<release>.tar.bz2
tar -xvf /whereIsavedit/firefox<release>.tar
mv firefox firefox-<release number>
ln -s firefox-<release number> firefox

Then I have my link in /usr/bin/firefox pointing to, in my case,
/opt/firefox/firefox.

Back out? No problem, reset the symbolic link.

In your case, first, was it installed via rpm? If so, rpm -e; in my case, 
rm -r the directory it was installed in, then go to the mozilla site and
d/l the version you want, then follow my procedure, above.

If you insist on installing it via yum, or rpm, you can tell it a release
number - check the man page on those.
