Installing simple files in Linux -

Basically at the moment I'd like to install the latest version of firefox onto my system, but I don't actually know how to do that. I assumed it would just be ./run-mozilla.sh or something to that effect, but it told me it couldn't execute the file or something like that.

What should I do now? I don't entirely understand how to install and uninstall programs on Linux. I have a book, but I haven't found anything quite yet.

Edit - Wait, so all you have to do is unzip the file into whatever directory you want it in, and it runs itself?
