directory structure has changed upgrading from 106.0.5 to 108.0 linux
At least under linux, 'firefox' is now a directory in 108.0. For 106.0.5 and many versions prior, it was an executable.
-rw-r--r-- 1 78771445 2022-12-15 08:34 firefox-108.0.tar.bz2
tar xjvf firefox-108.0.tar.bz2
mv firefox firefox-108.0
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 14416 2022-04-28 13:54 firefox-100.0/firefox
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 14416 2022-08-08 07:34 firefox-103.0.2/firefox
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 14416 2022-11-04 08:00 firefox-106.0.5/firefox
- drwxr-xr-x 7 4096 2022-12-15 08:47 firefox-108.0/firefox
Chosen solution
Solved: User error. This seems to have been caused by first having unpacked an incomplete failed download of 108.0.tar.bz2, then unpacking a completed successful download. To fix my problem, I deleted the quirky unpacked directory, then unpacked the tar.bz2 again.

I don't recall seeing anything but directories after extracting.
Good work!
