Hello,
Sorry,but i dont understand !!
what should i do exactly?
these is command to type?
Precisely, assuming you downloaded the tar.bz file in the default location.
here is what i did :
# cp /Desktop/firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar.bz2 /tmp/firefoxtmp
# cd /tmp/
# cd firefoxtmp
# ls
firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar.bz2
# bunzip2 firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar.bz2
# ls
firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar
# tar xf firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar
# ls
firefox
firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar
# cd firefox
# ls
application.ini libfreebl3.so libxpcom.so
blocklist.xml libmozalloc.so libxul.so
chrome libmozsqlite3.so mozilla-xremote-client
chrome.manifest libnspr4.so omni.ja

jsloader libsoftokn3.so
libfreebl3.chk libssl3.so
#
the problem is : THAT i dont found the file to install?????
which one should i choose to aply : ./install ????
Just run the command I suggested:
cd /opt
bunzip2 < /Desktop/firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
/opt/firefox/firefox
The last one launches firefox. There is no install script to run.
By the way, running a desktop environment logged in as root is unwise.

I have posted the How to here.
My Notes: Installing Firefox on a Solaris server.
If you still go questions let me know.
Glad you make it.
Not necessarily. That depends on what contains the tarball.
The first one uncompress the bz2 file and pipe the resulting output, which is a tar file, to a tar command that extracts this archive in the current directory.
The last one is just launching the firefox command that has just been extracted.
