A ppa is great, and used by most users. But if you want an alternate you simply download from Mozilla
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/
You save the tar.bz in your home directory.
You extract it with tar xjvf firefox-version
At the time of this post it is
tar xjvf firefox-10.0a2.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
Use tab completion (type firefox tab tab) ...
You then run it with
~/firefox/firefox-bin
The biggest potential advantages of this method is that it will install per user only, not system wide. On a multi-user system that might have an advantage.
You can 'install' it system wide easily enough
sudo cp -R ~your_user/firefox /usr/local
You then run it with
/usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin
