For 32-Bit OS

$ wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/47.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-47.0.tar.bz2  

For 64-Bit OS

$ wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/47.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-47.0.tar.bz2  

After downloading, extract it to a desired directory.

$ tar xvf firefox-47.0.tar.bz2  

Next, move to extracted directory.

$ cd firefox  

Now, check the version of already installed Firefox and get the extract location of binary command.

$ firefox -V    Mozilla Firefox 46.0    

$ which firefox  /usr/bin/firefox  

Now, you have two options, one you can remove existing version and another, if you want to keep both versions. Here, we are keeping two versions. So, I'll rename existing version and link original one to new instance.

Note: Make sure to execute following commands as a root user or a user with sudo privileges.

# mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old  # ln -s /full-path/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox  OR  $ sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old  $ sudo ln -s /full-path/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox  

Finally, verify the newly installed Firefox and launch it from command-line or from taskbar as normal user.

$ /usr/bin/firefox  $ firefox -V  Mozilla Firefox 47.0
