1. Download a new copy of the Firefox program

2. Firefox 3.6.27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

3. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.

4. Install the new version that you have downloaded.

You didn't mention which version of Firefox you want to upgrade to.

Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

For older Macs that aren't supported in the Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .
