The little I can see in your screenshot looks all correct.
In modern Linux systems you don't start applications by clicking the binary in the file explorer, that's not really been a thing for 25+ years. So basically don't try to find files or care about where they're placed, that's something only the OS should care about.
Using default Ubuntu you should be able to click the Windows button on your keyboard or the top leftmost button on your screen to get a list of installed applications with the ability to search/filter by just typing. E.g. click WIN and then "brow" and you'll see a list of installed web browsers. If you type "firefox" it should either show Firefox or present an option to install it.

To access software file or locate where application are stored in Ubuntu, you can use specific terminal commands or graphical tools depending on what you want to achieve.
