I would like to find out what file operations are carried out when installing Firefox with apt-get. In particular, is main executable created before other files that are needed to use the browser as intended. How should I go about this?

dpkg-deb -c firefox_45.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb
will show the files in the order the files are processed ...

It is installed fairly at the end and the files after copied after "firefox" also are installed before "firefox" so I would assume yes.
