How to upgrade to ff 7xx - got a tarbal, don't know how, and no docs I can find

I want to upgrade from 3.6.17 - Looks like I have to download 7.whatever. Can't figure out how to do it by just clicking something that says "upgrade." Docs say updating is automatic, and will be asked to click OK when upgrade is availabe. That does not happen. Another doc say click help, then upgrade. That is no an option in the help menu. It is great that FF is free, and all that, but it seems impossible to find ANY documentation that is CURRENT and HELPFUL PLEASE HELP.

Documentation varies for 3rd party versions of Firefox. Ubuntu uses a slightly different version of Firefox than what is available from Mozilla.
If you are running the version of Firefox that came with Ubuntu Hardy, the Firefox updater is disabled and updates are handled thru the Ubuntu updater. Check with Ubuntu support to see of 8.04 Hardy can handle Firefox 7 or if you need to upgrade to a newer version.
If you want to install that "tarbal" from Mozilla see this: <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux <br />
But before you do install it, make sure your OS and hardware meet system requirements. <br />

The "libraries" and "packages" are the confusing part of determining Firefox compatibility with a specific Linux distro and version.
