When I want to try a nightly build of Firefox from mozilla.org, I just untar it in the /usr/local directory. And as /usr/local/bin is in my path adding a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin for /usr/local/firefox/firefox is all that is needed to have it working (for future versions the symlink is already there). That way I don't mess up other parts of the system that are being managed by dpkg. You can run two "instances"(different versions of firefox) at the same time but only if you have two different profiles. If there is only one profile, the firefox script checks if an instance is already using the profile and if it is, it gives you the window running to use.
