Question- it used to be we had to isntall software in linux but now when i go to update by downloading a file, there doesn’t seem to be any way to actually install it- it just runs when the right icon is clicked- (not an exe, but like the exe)- is that pretty much standard now?

For instance, I wanted to install an older version of firefox, and i downloaded the file for it but there was no way to actually install it- I had to create a sim link to the exe like file on my desktop to run it-

I don’t know why it is, but I have to click the Seamonkey (Mozilla) folder on the desktop, then locate the exe file and click on it. I got Chrome into the task bar, but any attempt to link directly to the exe file for Mozilla returns an error that I’m wanting a folder in a folder or some such.
