Previously I was able to just click "Download Firefox" and it would "do its thing" but now it comes as a tar.bz2 file, which I have no idea how to deal with. Are geeks just getting lazy or just trying to make the less commuter literate feel stupid?

You have some options for installing software. To install Firefox (which should have been installed already with most Ubuntu distros) you can open a Terminal session and enter:

sudo apt-get install firefox

Alternatively, you can use a package manager like Synaptic to download and install Firefox for you. Either method will draw from the supported repositories.
