Re: Firefox Beta

I don't know a way to get the beta version without visiting the Mozilla page and downloading it, once downloaded you can extract the tar.bz2 file using ark and then go to the extracted folder and run the executable (usually ./firefox but not tested this version). This does not "install" firefox but will allow it to be run regardless of whether you are using another version on your system.

Re: Firefox Beta

I'd suggest doing as Dai suggested, however you could add the experimental repos and install from there.  Not sure how closely they track the absolutely latest beta, but they are always going to be a beta version in that.
