The problem is that up to 1.3.4, the wrapper script set the
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable, and in 1.3.5 the wrapper script was removed.
Normally, mozilla should be configured with
--with-default-mozilla-five-home=/path/to/mozilla
but apparently this is not true for all distributions...

As a workaround until this is fixed, you can set the variable from the
shell.
