I just downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox For Developers and Thunderbird Mail, from the mozilla's official site...
Both are .tar.bz2 files, I just clicked on it, but they are not executing.
Tried a lot of the other resources, tried the methods mentioned in the best questions on askubuntu.com too, but couldn't installed it.
How can you I install them, if anyone can tell me the correct way please.
Thanks in advance.

Test this:
Open a terminal,
Press Ctrl+Alt+T
Run it:
sudo -i
mv /home/user/downloads/firefox-*.tar.bz2 /opt
mv /home/user/downloads/thunderbird-*.tar.bz2 /opt
cd /opt
tar xjf firefox-*.tar.bz2
tar xjf thunderbird-*.tar.bz2
chmod -Rf 777 /opt
To start Firefox, run the firefox script in the firefox folder: /opt/firefox/firefox
To start Thunderbird, run the thunderbird script in the thunderbird folder: /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
To replace the original versión to developers versión:
Open a terminal,
Press Ctrl+Alt+T
Run it:
sudo -i
cd /usr/bin
mv firefox firefox_old
mv thunderbird thunderbird_old
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
ln -s /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/bin/thunderbird
