    Do this:

    $ bzip2 -dc firefox-4.0b1.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf -

    It will probably uncompress you a folder with an installer source code.

    If it is an installer, proceed to run it and install firefox.

    If it is source code, you will probably will be able to compile and install by doing:

    $ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

    Otherwise, follow a readme file or instructions you find after uncompress the BZIP2 file.
