For Firefox, all you need to do is extract it to wherever you want and then run the executable. Open up a terminal and

$ cd /path/to/file/location (obviously replace "/path/to/file/location" with the actual path to the directory to which the file was downloaded..)
$ tar zxvf firefox-1.5.tar.gz
$ cd firefox
$ firefox

This could have been found on Mozilla's site: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/relea...5.html#install

For OpenOffice.org, read this.
