Just for everyone's information (if you care), it would probably make a difference if you check out the CVS because the *nix builds are moving to a default of using cairo. But this isn't implemented in the 1.0.x line. Based on Randy's info, it sounds like gtk-2.8.x works with firefox and thunderbird 1.0.x. However, if you really want to take advantage of the badass cairo backend, you can check out the preview to firefox-1.1 (Deer Park) along with its other features.
Also, as Randy said, the mozilla way produces the exact same thing. It just adds a sort of scripting to ./configure, make, make install. That can be helpful if you see all the configure options that are passed. If anyone's interested, all the official mozilla build documentation is available at: http://www.mozilla.org/build/ It's pretty well documented, but some things haven't been updated in a while.
