Download the package from mozilla's official website, it may automatically detect your OS even otherwise you can simply specify it.
once you have downloaded the tar.gz or .pkg file
for, tar.gz
. simply extract via GUI or in the CLI, you will find a folder named mozilla, in the folder you will find a script file called firefox
. create a link to that file on to the desktop ln -s command or copy paste in GUI
. when you double-click on the icon, you will have to select "run in terminal" or simply "run" on the window popped out.
. if you want to create a launcher(i.e single click and you will have firefox running without any window popping out) you have to just drag and drop the icon(link that you have created) on the desktop to the panel at the bottom(or sometimes top) of the screen.
for .pkg(in solaris),
#pkg-get -d path_to_where_the_package_is_downloaded
