Where should programs go that I install? I've just installed Firefox
but it asks me where I want to install to, I've installed it in the
directory /usr/bin/firefox/ and created a launcher to
/usr/bin/firefox/firefox but although this works I'm not sure if this
is the correct way to install software.

Most of the software I already have can be launched from the bash
prompt (eg. mozilla) by typing the program name but this won't work
with Firefox unless I type firefox/firefox. What should I be doing so
this works with Firefox?
