Hi, 
first: you can use 
sudo apt update 
sudo apt install firefox


2nd:
you can use synaptic, loook for firefox and install it

3rd
with your download file you should or can use engrampa within thunar.
First look for your firefox-file in thunar, then you click on it, open
it with engrampa and your firefox will be extracted from the tar-file.
After that you can call it - but you have to make it executable, before
you can use it.

The best way for that reason is, to use synaptic, install it und you
have a useable firefox.
Its the easiest way for newcomer in ubuntu.

bye hans
