Yeah, I believe there is some stuff at the orca wiki - the usual
prefix for the gnome wiki ending with Orca/Firefox.

But what I did simply enough was to download the latest nightly build
from ftp.mozilla.org and extract the archive into a stand-alone
directory on your system and then run 'firefox' from that location.
Furthermore, I just went into /usr/local/bin and created a sym link to
the firefox in the recently downloaded directory.  So now I can just
type firefox from any terminal or use the menu pointers that were
already there from the dropline-gnome setup I use.

Fortunately, the single directory solutions works and seems to have no
dependencies on outside things that I don't have.

HTH.
