Debian based distros have great built in package management.
I'd recommend reading the manuals for aptitude or apt-get
Code:

man apt-get
man aptitude

anyway...this should do it:
Code:

sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox
Or you can use a GUI like synaptic if you don't like the command line:)

this has been taken from http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000130 it is quite easy all you have to do is use adept It should do it for you

Adept package manager, allows you to look for, download and install additional software packages. Beyond that, it worries about dependencies--that is, does your system have all the other software packages needed to make the new package work? I'm not writing a tutorial here but you basically start adept, find firefox (there is a search function), right cllick "click the "request installation" and click "apply changes" if there are other dependencies that need to be installed it will also show up in the list right click and choose the "request installtion" option and hit "apply changes"

It will probably ask you for the user password for you to continue

Having said that it is best if you do it from command line

hope this Helps,

Jake
