You have to build the binary executables from the source code.
I would normally do this as follows:

cd /home/ins
gzip -dc firestarter-1.0.3.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd firestarter-1.0.3
./configure  --prefix=/usr

Wouldn't "--prefix=/usr/local" be better, as it stays clear of the
packaging system? (At least on stock Debian it does.)

make
su
make install

This will place the executable in /usr/bin, where it can be used by all.

/usr/local/bin should also be usable by all.
