Different Linux distributions have different methods for installing programs, far too many to be comprehensive in a single answer. If you want a specific answer, ask "How do i install Firefox and Pidgin in Ubuntu?" or "How do I install Firefox and Pidgin in OpenSUSE?", or whatever distribution you are using.
