I am quite new on linux so be patient please. After downloaded mozilla from its website, the file must be uncompressed. Actually it is on Desktop and when clicking on the executable it works.

Question

To make it executable as firefox from terminal I am not sure if:
An alias must be defined or the executable must be saved on a particular directory (I didn't downloaded it from synaptic because it is outdated).

I have searched on the web but didn't find anything clear enough.

Any help?

EDIT

Path:

cd /home/alumno/firefox/

Then if I list here:

application.ini gmp-clearkey libnss3.so minidump-analyzer
browser gtk2 libnssckbi.so omni.ja
chrome.manifest icons libnssdbm3.chk pingsender
crashreporter icudt59l.dat libnssdbm3.so platform.ini

firefox-bin.sig libmozsandbox.so libssl3.so updater.ini
firefox.sig libmozsqlite3.so libxul.so update-settings.ini

(on the first column is the binary).

Following suit with this answer from another community...but tailoring it per your specific need:

You need to add [something like this] to your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc file [or ~/.bash_profile].

export PATH=$PATH:/home/alumno/firefox/

If there is already a PATH export, you just need to postpend :/home/alumno/firefox/ like this:

export PATH=[...existing PATH additions]:/home/alumno/firefox/

Don't forget to restart your terminal and/or source that file you have the export statement in.

Create a symbolic link:

ln -s /home/alumno/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox 
firefox
