So here's the "way" to get in on the action:
~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
~$ sudo apt-get update
~$ sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0
That should just about cover it, but in case you get an error about a missing /usr/bin/firefox-4.0 then simply do the following and you're good to go:
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-4.0b2pre/firefox-4.0 /usr/bin/firefox-4.0
~$ sudo apt-get -f install
To run Firefox 4.0 head over to Applications > Internet > Shiretoko Web Browser
A word of warning though: It's still very early so expect crashes and missing features.
