Is Firefox in Ubuntu by default? I'm on openSUSE and Firefox comes with it. My Distro is normally a version or 2 behind, but I ass-u-me it's also on your Distro by default. What you installed as root is probably just a permissions issue. Just look at who owns the folder you installed Firefox in as root.

Launch the profile manager with firefox -P and create a new profile. Each user should have their own profile(s) in ~/.mozilla/firefox/.
