When you unpack the Firefox tar file a new directory will be created called simply firefox. (Where XXX this the release number you downloaded.)

More than likely the source package will be in bunzip2 format. Now that the file is in place it is time to unpack the file. If you want to install it 'system wide' move the file to the /opt directory (you will have to have root permissions or use sudo to do this.) If you choose to install for just one user then place the source file in the users home directory.
