Depending on how you want to upgrade Firefox (it has built-in Upgrade
install capability) and how many users you have on your system, you
might want to install it in your home directory. That way the Install
Updates function within the Firefox Options will work. If you install
it under /usr/local to be shared, only root can perform updates.
Hope this helps.
