Try the following commands

sudo chmod -R a+r /opt/firefox
sudo find /opt/firefox -type f -perm '+u=x' -exec chmod a+x '{}' ';'

If that doesn't work, please let us know what message you get when you try to run firefox.

When you installed it, the permissions should have been set up to work properly.
The best thing may be to remove and reinstall it.  When you extract the tar file,
use the '--no-same-owner' option.
