I might be mistaken, but doesn't Mozilla/Firefox download as a .bin file? If so, to install, you need to make the file executable with a command from the command line. Open a terminal window (the icon in the tray that looks like a screen (perhaps with a sea shell super-imposed), and issue this command: chmod +x <filename>, where <filename> is the name of the file.
chmod = change mode; +x = make executable
You may have to be root (sys admin priviledge) to do this. So, from the command line, su <enter>, give the root password when prompted, then give the chmod command listed above.
If you are not in the same folder the file is in, then cd to that folder, and try to execute the command: <filename>.bin (press enter). You may have to precede the command with ./; as in ./<filename>.bin.
Or, from anywhere in the directory tree, give the full path to the file, as in /home/<username>/<filename> <enter>, after making it executable.
