I don't do Ubuntu, but I use Debian and From what I could tell, Debian
does not include Firefox as a package.  So I just unzipped the
entirity of Firefox into /usr/local/lib and then symlinked
/usr/local/bin/firefox to point to /usr/local/lib/firefox and this has
always worked for me.  On my Deb box, /usr/bin/firefox is a sym link
that points to iceweisel.  Dunno if you can do things that way on
Ubuntu or not.
