I wish they had some better UX designers. Hit the download button and I get a .bz2 file with no install scripts whatsoever.

    $ tar jxvf firefox-57.0.tar.bz2
    $ cd firefox
    $ mkdir /usr/local/firefox
    mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/firefox': Permission denied
    $ sudo su
    Password:
    # mkdir /usr/local/firefox
    # cp -rv * /usr/local/firefox/
    ...
    # ln -s /usr/local/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox 
    ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/firefox': File exists
    # mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox.bac
    # ln -s /usr/local/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

Why couldn't they go the extra mile and give me a .deb file I can just click and install or dpkg -i, like Chrome does? Make it absolutely frictionless -- lubricate the whole process -- if you want people to use it instead of Chrome.
