Try wget.
$ mkdir tmp
$ cd tmp
Get Mozilla 1.7 beta
$ wget
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7b/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7b-installer.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf mozilla*1.7b-installer.tar.gz && cd mozilla-installer
$ su root
# chmod +x ./mozilla-installer
# ./mozilla-installer
============================================
Before install, I removed the old mozilla by doing:
# apt-get remove mozilla (or rpm -e mozilla )
! Be careful:
# rm /usr/bin/mozilla
# rm -fr /usr/opt/mozilla
# rm -fr /usr/local/mozilla
But, the installer should do it for you.

? Maybe your file was already unzipp'ed by the downloader. ?
