Start with `which firefox` or whatever the biniary is. You might have
to bump /usr/local ahead of /usr in your bash config...or something.

Last time I built it from source I did something like:

apt-get build-deps firefox

./configure --path=/usr/local/mozilla-firefox
fakeroot make 
sudo make install

Wasn't all that difficult....
