You've installed software outside of your distributions package
repositories, which means you'll have to resolve any library issues
manually. Probably running ldd on the firefox binary will help show the
missing libraries. If you have the wrong versions of libraries installed
you will have to manually compile the libraries too.
A google for "firefox 3 debian" shows up the following in the first hit:
http://www.debian-administration.org/users/oxtan/weblog/14
This includes the phrase:
"Firefox3 won't install for Debian Etch since etch has gtk2.8 while
firefox 3 wants gtk2.10 onwards. "
If you want FF3 you'll have to manually compile the libraries, use a
backport or use a newer version of Debian (or A.N.Other distro)
