Proper and easy way for any source is build it under /usr/local
following source documentation and you set your PATH right.
But what you really needed is install mozilla-snapshot and its friend.
mozilla-snapshot:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.0.20021212.09.trunk-1
Version Table:
0.0.20021212.09.trunk-1 0
800 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
Anyway you want to run latest, you need to be unstable :) Can you
habdle it?

Matus was right. I agree but I would do this a bit differently If I had to
(I did not do this.) After adding deb-src for unstable and in
testing environment (or in woody if you are lucky)
So if you wanted to rebuild for slightly old environment than latest
unstable
# apt-get build-dep mozilla-snapshot
# apt-get source -b mozilla-snapshot
