It is shipped as a binary, you don't need to install it.
Once extracted, simply run firefox from within the directory.

Extract it with:
tar jxvf firefox-3.0.2.tar.bz2
That should create a directory containing the necessary files. In there should be a binary called simply "firefox". Just run that, eg:
./firefox
(presuming you're doing this as non-root).
Note: what distribution are you using? There are probably easier ways of installing than downloading the pre-compiled binary.
