"file MozillaFirebird-0.7-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz", it may report that it is a .tar file i.e may already have been "gzip -d" while being downloaded. If it is a .tar file, "tar xfv MozillaFirebird-0.7-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz -C /opt" to extract it into /opt. Place a link such as "ln -s /opt/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird /usr/bin/FB", then you can simply execute "FB&" or create a desktop icon application link to execute /usr/bin/FB.

What does this mean and what do I do about it?
