i have never used such, only read about them. i may be wrong, but i believe they need tweaking. firefox-40.0.2.tar.bz2 is available from; https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/ complete list of latest for os, 32/64, language from; https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ also, for more info about what to do, have a look at; https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0.2/releasenotes/ personally, i believe you would be better of by picking a mirror site and pull the .rpm file. once you have it, run a local install. just look thru your /etc/yum.repos.d/ files to get url for mirror list then go to that page to find a site to pull from. such will be easier than pulling from mozilla because it is already complied for os. -- peace out.
