You are correct. I downloaded via dialog box and used Archive Manager. No error message, just stopped.
/*If that is the case why are you not using the version provided by Ubuntu in the official repositories which is regularly updated and includes any patches that the Ubuntu developers wish to include to make Firefox work with Ubuntu better? */*I did not know any better. Did a Google search and used the terminal to upgrade FF. I now have FF 63. In addition I have installed Ubuntu 14.14 which cures the suspend problem.
