installing firefox on linux.

Hello,

I recently installed linux onto my computer, and I can't figure out how to get firefox working on it. I downloaded the linux verision of firefox to a jumpdrive on my ibook, then plugged it into my pc, and extracted the firefox folder in the tar.gz file.

Now what? I now have a folder named 'Firefox' and in it are all the components Firefox comes with, but how do I launch the application?

Firefox' binaries are a godsend, everybody should build their shit like this. Unpack and run; no libraries to mess with, no shit because it sets LDPATH to the application directory as the OS should do for you.

Distros suck as they usually spread your files across a myriad of shitty illogical directories and never update to major versions.
