It already is.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=firefox

Once the final release is made, the 11.04 package will be updated.

Sitting all comfy back here in the 10.4 easy seats, I find I need to
update firefox to version 4. Last time I did that, it lost every darn
thing... instead of smoothly transferring itself as I had hoped. A
google reveals everyone and their brother with advice. Anyone here know
of the most painless route to upgrade firefox? I installed Java version
7 - 64 manually (which I HATE to do) as java upgrades seem to be stalled
like a barnacle on a wooden hull. Ric

Thanks, I got it running later on... plus I have java 7 installed. It's
quite a speed improvement over the Ubuntu standard sun-java install,
too. I used this howto...
http://codeslinger.posterous.com/how-to-install-java-7-on-ubuntu

This guy knows what he's writing about, for a change. The only part he
left out was chasing around in system preferences for file associations
related to java, which I had to edit as well. THEN it works like a charm
once you have them pointing to the new jdk-7 locations. Ric

Not sure why you'd want to go to all that work to install 4.0. 6.0 is
the current stable version:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html

You can download & extract to a home folder & run from there to test. It
will use your current profile (back it up first) in ~/.mozilla/firefox

BTW: 9.0a1 is the current nightly version:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110825 Firefox/9.0a1
