Hi, first: you can use sudo apt update sudo apt install firefox 2nd: you can use synaptic, loook for firefox and install it 3rd with your download file you should or can use engrampa within thunar. First look for your firefox-file in thunar, then you click on it, open it with engrampa and your firefox will be extracted from the tar-file. After that you can call it - but you have to make it executable, before you can use it. The best way for that reason is, to use synaptic, install it und you have a useable firefox. Its the easiest way for newcomer in ubuntu. bye hans
