Ankuar,

Do you see any error on the screen? I think file name is firefox-bin and not just firefox. So open terminal go to Firefox3 installtion directory and run firefox-bin
Code:
./firefox-bin

You need to install package called xulrunner which provides the XUL Runtime environment for Gecko applications including Firefox.
Code:
up2date xulrunner
