Firefox install confusion

Here is something I can never really get a straight answer on. I guess it depends on who you ask and what distro they run so here goes...

I deleted the default built in FC2 Mozilla browser and downloaded Firefox file called

firefox-0.9.3-i686-linux-gtk2+xft-installer.tar.gz

The file is downloaded to a location that is default to me called /home/carlos

Now my question is ... how to properly install the browser? If I extract this firefox-0.9.3-i686-linux-gtk2+xft-installer.tar.gz file to the same location /home/carlos, I see a new folder called firefox_installer ... now if I run that installer from the default location, I now have the actual browser installed to my /home/carlos directory and I don't want any system settings there. Can someone help me on how I can install this somewhere out of sight and what is a appropriate place for this.
