Cannot update Firefox
I've downloaded firefox-57.0.tar.bz2 for Linux x64. But when I run the binary "./updater" after decompressing, the warning comes up: "./updater: error while loading shared libraries: libmozsqlite3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". How to solve this issue?

The tarball is just a archive for the Firefox program. There is no installer or make. and the updater is used for internal Firefox updates from Mozilla I think.
To use Firefox after unpacking the tarball you just run the firefox sh file with say ./firefox in terminal. You can create desktop or panel launcher shortcuts to the same firefox file.
The Firefox 54.0 you appear to have is a third-party build from Ubuntu and not Mozilla. You can check for Firefox updates in the package manager to get updates this way.
