I have downloaded latest version of mozila-firefox from http://tinyurl.com/lm4449e . Try to install it by running following commands.

cd Dowloads
tar xjf firefox-38.0.1.tar.bz2
cd firefox
chmod +x run-mozilla.sh
./run-mozilla.sh

But i am getting an error that "run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute"

First you can install it using apt-get, You should update your source list.

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

but if you want to install it manually, here what you should do;

Download then extract as you did already

move the extracted folder to /opt

sudo mv firefox* /opt/firefox38

If you already had a previous Firefox version installed in the /opt directory, remove it with the following command:

sudo mv /opt/firefox /opt/old_firefox

Set up symbolic links

sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old

sudo ln -s /opt/firefox38/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

if everything goes well then you can delete firefox-old in /usr/bin and old_firefox dolder in /opt
