Downloaded and unpacked firefox-57.0b13.tar.bz2 into Downloads/firefox. No install or readme instructions found there. Attempted to install using 

./configure
make
make install

When I enter ./configure, I get no such file or directory.

What am I doing wrong?

    Why exactly don't you just install it using sudo apt install firefox?

    It's probably containing a binary. Look for an executable file named firefox

  • Nitpicking: It's not the terminal that answers this. It's your shell answering (instructing the terminal to display) this error message, the terminal obeys and displays it.

It has a binary file called firefox. Double click to open it or type ./firefox in terminal. It's precompiled. It doesn't need to be installed.
