"sudo apt-get remove firefox; sudo apt-get install firefox will remove the existing version and re-install - but it will leave configuration files intact.

sudo apt-get purge firefox; sudo apt-get install firefox will purge the existing version (ie, remove the binaries and the configuration files - but I'm not sure it will clean up your ~/.firefox, you may have to remove that by hand) and then re-install.

If all you want to do is force a fresh install, sudo apt-get reinstall firefox will do that for you."
