Help with installing a program on Zorin 12

I am a new user to Zorin 12 and seem to like it so far, there is one issue I can not figure out though and maybe someone may be able to give me some instructions. I have used Mac before and installed but never on a Linux OS
I have never used the terminal either.

I have downloaded firejail (for browsing in a sandbox) and have it unziped and in a folder. I have searched on the internet but the instructions on how to install this on my pc look like another language to me.

If anyone has done this and would have some plain english for me please let me know as I just want to add some more safety to my browsing.

Thanks for anyone that could help me.

Hi, see if you can get this:

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't know how to use wine with a program.

I have used Linux before many years ago for browsing the internet but have never installed anything to it. I have only used the respositories for getting software for it.
I was wanting to have the sandboxing that firejail has as I want to do banking on that computer.
It is a 32 bit machine.
