The download asset for Linux is a tarball, i.e., a compressed tar file. To extract the files, right-click the .tar.gz file in your file manager and select "Extract here" or "Extract to..." and if necessary, tell it where to place the files. Inside the FreeFileSync/ directory, there is a FreeFileSync binary. You can run that (double click) and it will invoke the right architecture file for you: either Bin/FreeFileSync_x86_64 or Bin/FreeFileSync_i386 (or similar; I forget exactly).
If you want to run commands from the command line:
cd ~/Downloads
 tar -zxf FreeFileSync_10.25_Linux.tar.gz
Change the cd command to whatever directory you downloaded the file to. The tar command will extract the compressed archive file. Then you can run:
cd ~/Downloads/FreeFileSync
 ./FreeFileSync
