As far as I can tell, Mozilla doesn't provide official Firefox builds for any ARM Linux device.

The official Linux x86_64 build for version 44.0.2 is here:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/44.0.2/linux-x8...

I don't know who uses those builds, though. We can be sure that the year of Linux on the desktop will never arrive if we expect end-users to unpack tarballs.

Edit: To make that last part a little more constructive, perhaps this will help with distro-agnostic packaging of official Linux builds of Firefox and other applications: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps
