You can install FF3 on an Eee PC running Xandros, but it will eat up part of the user data portion of your SSD and it won't overwrite the installation of FF2 that's hanging out in the read-only portion of your hard drive. Just add a list of Xandros repositories using this tutorial:

And then open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install firefox"

You can also backup your user data and install the XEPC version of Xandros which is based on the Asus version of the operating system but which includes more up to date software:
