I downloaded it into
file\home\user\documents

>>From there I did everything as described by Firefox install
instructions.
i.e.
tar -xzvf firefox-1.0.3.installer.tar.gz
 cd firefox-installer
 ./firefox-installer
I'm not familiar with the Linux file system. I wrongly presumed Linux
would install it in a preset default location that all program end up.
I'm leaning that this is a Windows presumption that is not the case for
Linux. If you could guide me to a location in the file system that I
should install this and all future programs that would be great.
