The scenario is : i am trying to use the package selenium 2.53.6 with python to invoke Firefox using WebDriver but I read and found out that this combination is having some bugs right now and it would work if we use Firefox 46.0.1.

In an attempt to try that I downloaded firefox-sdk.tar.bz2 from the FTP site of Mozilla. But despite of trying everything I am unable to Install it. People say execute the firefox script from within the firefox folder, but there is no such script named firefox in the extracted folder. Below is the screenshot for the extracted folder.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Why the firefox-version.linux-x86_64.sdk.tar.bz2 and not the firefox-version.tar.bz2 ?

You need to go into the linux-x86_64 folder and pick language.

There is no install or make or such as the basics is to run the firefox script. You can make a launcher shortcut to it.
