First you need to change the install.rdf
go to firesheep/xpi
open the install.rdf with any text editor.
scroll down to em:minVersion>3.6.10
3.6.*
change to what version you are running in firefox.
5.0.0 << this will be your current version
7.0.1* <> url = git://github.com/joyent/http-parser
Save it.
Now you can do the git submodule update.
cd firesheep
git submodule update --init
Next to compile Firesheep Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 you need some packages installed.
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libpcap-dev libboost-all-dev libhal-dev xulrunner-1.9.2-dev
Next run ./autogen.sh && make and hoplfully you'll don't get any errors
If everthing went ok you should get a build folder (firesheep/build/ firesheep.xpi)
add "firesheep.xpi" to your add-ons
