Because it's in the universe repository rather than the main repository:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/firefox-3.5

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
The repository components are:

    * Main - Officially supported software.
    * Restricted - Supported software that is not available under a
completely free license.
    * Universe - Community maintained software, i.e. not officially
supported software.
    * Multiverse - Software that is not free.
