The last time i looked it was in /usr/local/firefox. It can be installed anywhere you want, though, since firefox keeps its files together in one directory and your personal configs should work for any version.

I thought that too, but when I extract the .tar.gz and try to run Firefox, I get a shared library:filenot found error... *shrug* I am a new old Linux user (ie it's been a few too many years since I have played around with Linux, and I am almost a complete n00b again! LOL)
