I am really new to Linux and Ubuntu 12.04. Even though I already have the regular Firefox, I'm trying to install Firefox from Mozilla's site. Since I (at least think) that I can't install through a GUI, I'm trying to install through the terminal using this answer, however, every time I try to use the cd command, like, for example cd home/myusername/desktop , it returns with the phrase "No such file or directory."

What am I doing wrong?

Linux is case sensitive.
The folder created by Ubuntu is named "Desktop", not "desktop".

Just type:

cd ~/Desktop

or

cd /ho[tab]myu[tab]De[tab]

(Just an example how to use tab for auto completion.)

you should mention the root directory : 

cd /home/yourusername/Desktop
