Perhaps I'm missing something, but like 6 years ago, I downloaded firefox on linux from mozilla which came as a tar file that I extracted into my home directory and made shortcuts to. It has been working fine and auto updating ever since :shrug:

I don't see what the point of this is.

It's handy if multiple users use the same machine, or if you're on a managed system.
