man
natty already have firefox 5.0
check your firefox version

what ever this is the process
tar xvf filename.tar.bz
cd that folder

do
(if you have files configure , make )
I)
./configure
make
sudo make install
(or)

II) ./firefox (look for the executable file under the name firefox )

That is not how Firefox is compiled and most of the time users are simply trying to install a Firefox binary, which is also distributed as tar.bz2 files.
