The worse thing is that is not even available as a .deb anymore (or is pretty well hidden).
You can download a .tar.bz2 from Mozilla's webpage, which you can unpack and then just launch the
firefoxbinary inside it.But yeah, if you want proper integration into the desktop environment, it takes some manual steps, which a .deb would do for you.
If you are willing to download a .tar.bz2 from Mozilla, you can also download the .deb file from the Debian repos
Yeah, sure. I still like to share this factoid, because not many people seem to be aware and it is pretty useful, if e.g. you want to quickly test Firefox Nightly or the new Thunderbird or whatever.
