To update any program in Ubuntu, you should always use update-manager
which will inform you when updates are ready.

An updated firefox will arrive next week, around Monday.

Installing/updating programs manually as you are describing is extremely
bad practice in Ubuntu.

For more information, see
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/add-applications.html,
in particular
