    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

    (*) It's not a real install; you expand the .bz2 file into a directory, then run the firefox binary from there, probably with links so the executable will be in your PATH.
    I also remove the officially installed firefox so there aren't two versions around.
    i don't see any .bz2 files there. all i see for version 69 is individual files.
