Only other way I'm seeing to install it is download the tar file, extract it and then run the script in the extracted folder for a manual install

that's what I'm trying to do.  I forgot to attach the screen shot last time. sent it later, but maybe you didn't see it. If you look at the screen shot you'll see that I tried to change directories to where the file is , but got the message no such command????    or no such file....

your using the same commands as if you were install software from a PPA or repo that wont work here...


Move the waterfox.tar.gz2 to where you want it installed, I generally use /opt

then run

sudo tar -xvjf ./waterfox.tar.bz2

then simply open the new folder created(mine was called waterfox) and run ./waterfox to launch it.

TL;DR

sudo mv ~/Downloads/waterfox.tar.bz2 /opt
cd /opt
sudo tar -xvjf ./waterfox.tar.bz2
cd ./waterfox
./waterfox
