Hi! I have a laptop acer and I have installed Linux Canaima 2.0.3, which is a debian distribution with some features of Ubuntu. I downloaded the new version of Firefox, but could not install because it tells me that there are certain dependencies with the old version and how to do to remove the previous version of browser and install the new one. Please I need your help. Thanks in advance.

Either you need to install those missing dependencies or install a more up to date Linux distro version that has more current packages and not ones that are probably from 4+ years ago being based on a long term support debian version.

There is a Canaima 3.0 which was released May 2011 for example. http://canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve/

You might be able to install Firefox 3.6.18 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
