Strange, installing the the tarball version of FF is dead simple.
1) untar it to the directory you want (I use /usr/local/lib/firefox)
2) optionally make a symlink to the "firefox" executable in the
install dir to "firefox" in /usr/local/bin or so, to be able to call
it without the path.
/root/firefox isn't a good place for it, but it should work (as long
as you have permissions...)
