I think you can just follow the instructions at
http://texturizer.net/firebird/download.html#install
How To Install
The official releases don't have installers, which means that
you need to install Mozilla Firebird manually. If you're using
Windows, you can download an unofficial installer which takes
care of this whole process, including the creation of
application shortcuts. If you're not using Windows, or if you
prefer to download the official binaries, the instructions are
as follows:
Once you have downloaded the compressed (zipped) file, use
Winzip or gzip to uncompress Mozilla Firebird to an empty
folder. Navigate to the folder you placed the files in. If
you're running Windows, start the MozillaFirebird.exe file (the
one with the red fire icon). If you're running Linux, start the
MozillaFirebird script.
Note: Do not unzip Mozilla Firebird to a directory that already
contains a previous version of Mozilla Firebird. Either delete
the existing directory, move it out of the way or create a new
directory. If you install Mozilla Firebird on top of an existing
Mozilla Firebird or Mozilla directory you will have problems.
