Install a normie-tier distro first. It's gonna show you the ropes and how Linux ~can~ be. You can compile Firefox from source later.
Try Ubuntu with one of the popular Desktop Enviroments variations, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome.
I heard Mint is also good for starters.
When you start growing a beard and shower at most once a week, you can ascend to muh minimal bloatware-free tiling wm distro.

If you're looking to play games and shit, go ubuntu. Remember to uninstall the amazon bloatware. If you're not gonna game, then look into Debian with minimal install and upgrade it to stretch, you can find tutorials on youtube on how to do that.
If you care about aesthetics then go for vanilla Linux Mint (i.e. with the Cinnamon desktop environment), otherwise, or if you have an older computer, choose Linux Mint + Xfce.
