"How is a non-hacker end user supposed to run a tarball?"

How about they wait until available through their distribution's package manager?

Because this can take up to six months or longer, and people want to use the software they're being asked by Firefox's marketing to use.

Most people don't wait 6 months. They use articles like the one mentioned, and are more likely to encounter poor-quality Firefox as a result.
