That's not astonishing, since you use version 2.x, which is not
accessible under Linux.
Visit:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/
Chose the Linux folder and the German language folder. Download the
*.tar.bz2 file.
After that unpack it:
tar xfjv firefox*.tar.bz2
change into the new folder and run:
./firefox (of course in a Gnome terminal).
You can add a symlink to the startup file, so that there's no need for
changing to the folder.
