Which release do you have because it's in the repos? Otherwise, open a terminal and try

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

cd ~/Desktop
tar xvzf filename.tar.gz
cd firefox
./firefox
Assuming you've saved it to your desktop and replace filename.tar.gz with the actual name of the file.

This is what i entered

dbm@dbm-desktop:~/Desktop$ tar xvzf firefox-3.0.5.tar.bz2


I got an error
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Thats in bz2 format not .tar. Now why can't you just get Firefox from the repo? Are you using a version older then Hardy?

With .bz2, you have to use the j option instead of the z.


tar xvjf firefox-3.0.5.tar.bz2
cd firefox
./firefox
