    After you extract the file, enter the folder FireFox has made something like 'firefox-installer' and click on the shell script file 'firefox-installer', this should start a graphical install for you.

    hope this helps;

    Found the problem, just had to use
    Code:
     ./firefox-installer
    instead of
    Code:
     ./configure
    Thanx anyway

    yup, go with the ./firefox-installer

    I'd recommend though that you back up your bookmarks just in case too.

    [and delete the directory that it's going into as well[

    It could be that it found that the profile was locked, and so it created a new one and used that. Check in your ~/.mozilla directory and see if you have multiple profiles in there.
