In my experience, running a mixed system is trickier than getting the
program you need directly from the source (especially in cases where the
desired program isn't even in unstable yet!). At least for projects like
Firefox and OpenOffice, which are generally pretty straightforward to
install.
In the case of Firefox 3.5, it's pretty simple:
download it from getfirefox.com
extract it:
tar -xvjf firefox-3.5.tar.bz2
run firefox with:
~./firefox/firefox
You can put a symlink to ~/firefox/firefox in ~/bin/ or wherever is
convenient, or if you use a desktop with icons, add one that points to
~/firefox/firefox, and you're all done.
I just did that this morning. When Iceweasel 3.5 is ready for my testing
system, I'll install that as usual and delete ~/firefox/
Cheers,
Tyler
