You definitely should if you intend doing any serious programming
on MacOS. Learn to drive the Terminal tool and the basic Unix
command line tools and you will have much more control over
your Mac.

Read Steve's reply because, despite its mild(?!) snarkiness
about Macs (and firefox), it is full of good advice.

But as a quick fix if you drag the Gecko-thingummy binary
into your Applications folder it should be on your path.
But that's probably not the optimal place to keep it,
but it might just get you running quickly...
