installing FF update manually on latest Linux Mint
I have grabbed the latest version of Firefox browser (v57?) on my slowwwwwwww netbook as it promised to be the fastest version ever. It certainly seems to drag the machine down a lot less.
Today, when the FF v54 on my Linux Mint machine flagged up that my browser was a bit out of date and ought to be updated for security reasons I clicked to accept. It went to the FF download website and I found the Linux versions. It downloaded and un-Tar ed and then................. Nothing happened.
I am used to Windoz stuff which downloads, installs etc all automatically. How should I manually drive the installation to put it in. I looked into the software manager, it doesn't have v57 on offer yet, the best it can do is the same version that I already have.
Ta.

ps I will not be looking to attempt this until Sunday evening so if I don't come back on here until then please don't take offence. I will be grateful for your suggestions.
