There is no need to install it, just run:

Code:

/usr/firefox3/firefox/firefox

to launch firefox

You can use the package manager of your distro to install the firefox package, that will create the needed icons, shortcuts etc.

If you're using Gnome:
1) System>Preferences>Look_&_feel>Main_menu
2) Choose where do you want to have the FF icon
3) Press "New Item".

You can also add this icon to the panel.
RC on the panel > Add to panel > Application Luncher
