You do not need to run ./configure because Firefox is already built for you. To run firefox, just do ./firefox or click on the icon labeled "firefox" from nautilus or whatever file manager you are using.

Did you try what I said above? You should be able to run Firefox by doing

sultan@sultan-laptop:~/Desktop/firefox/firefox

You just copy the directory called firefox to a location of your choice and then create menu links (or just update them).
