Unless there is some must have fix or feature that is only available in the RC1, I would just let your package manager handle the update.

Well I heard there was dramatic changes regarding stability when handling flash files because beta 5 likes to crash when it loads up flash content.

Distro is obviously Ubuntu, hence the 'Hardy Heron' in the original post.

You can run your new version of Firefox without replacing the old version, by simply extracting it to a folder and running the executable... How you actually do a proper update, I'm unsure.

yeah I've tried that before. It feels a bit out of place if you know what I mean.
