So, in Debian, where should I be placing a Firefox tarball I download from Mozilla’s site?

It is open-source, and I can get source files, but it’s precompiled…

Anywhere in your `$PATH` that isn't managed by `apt`/`dpkg`. E.g. add `~/bin` to your `$PATH`, and install it in there. No risk of overwriting files the system package manager manages & having manually-installed software break next time it updates them.
