For both Firefox and Thunderbird, I just untarred the whole binary
package into /usr/local/lib and sym linked the main binary to my
/usr/local/bin directory.  All other subdirs for firefox and
thunderbird simply fall in place.  That all worked for me.  dunno
about special plug-ins or any of that.  that shouldn't be affected
though.
