Honestly, when I've used official Firefox builds, I've just downloaded the tarball and extracted it to my home directory. Any malicious code that could corrupt your Firefox install can trash your entire home directory anyway, so there's not much gained by making it non-writable. Also, running a browser (or anything as complex as a GUI app, but especially anything as wildly complex as a browser) as root is probably a bad idea security-wise anyway. |

Yes, that's why using mar + updater is probably the only "right" option, but it's way too manual. I even thought about writing some script which would extract http sources for mar file based on the current update channel but didn't figure out yet where it's configured.
