You can always put a newer version of FF in /home/${USER}/firefox and then put that directory at the beginning of $PATH in your .bash_profile
No other changes are necessary and next time you log in voila! when you click the FF icon in the menus, the newer version gets launched. There is absolutely no reason to inflict that kind of pain on yourself when newer, more stable versions of the same software are available.
I should have done that, awhile back! Since 5.2 will be out next week, I'll wait for that now.
