Last thing I remember is that firefox/ was supposed to by symlinked to 
mozilla/
before the "install phase" so that all files automatically fall under mozilla/
directory. However, that may not work too well with Thunderbird (no factual
info, just guess). I don't think current firefox spell is making that symlink.
