First you will have to identify what of such "feature" you can't access 
or make use of, I mean, I'm not aware of any in particular >:-)

Questions is... do you really want to upgrade to 3.6+? If yes, there are 
many options:

1/ Go to "mozilla.debian.net" and follow the instructions
2/ Go to "www.mozilla.org" and download the latest version of the browser

I, that run lenny, had to go for the second option.
