I have downloaded latest version of mozila-firefox from http://tinyurl.com/lm4449e . Try to install it by running following commands.
cd Dowloads
tar xjf firefox-38.0.1.tar.bz2
cd firefox
chmod +x run-mozilla.sh
./run-mozilla.sh
But i am getting an error that "run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute"
First you can install it using apt-get, You should update your source list.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
but if you want to install it manually, here what you should do;
Download then extract as you did already
move the extracted folder to /opt
sudo mv firefox* /opt/firefox38
If you already had a previous Firefox version installed in the /opt directory, remove it with the following command:
sudo mv /opt/firefox /opt/old_firefox
Set up symbolic links
sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox38/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
if everything goes well then you can delete firefox-old in /usr/bin and old_firefox dolder in /opt
