This doesn't make sense. Why would you check thunderbird for your
firefox version number? They are two different products.
When running firefox, select "About" from the Help menu.

To update firefox, create a directory to hold the new version adjacent
to your current version. My 1.5x version is in
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9. If my new version is 2.0.0.1, then as root
I would
1. create a directory /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.1
2. Then untar/unzip the tarball from your home directory (assuming
that is where you downloaded firefox 2.0.0.1)
3. move firefox to your newly created directory
4. go to /usr/bin directory
5. rename the current firefox
6. create a symbolic link to the new firefox
mkdir /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.1
cd
tar -zxvf firefox-2.0.0.1.gz
cd firefox
mv * /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.1
cd /usr/bin
mv firefox firefox-1.5.0.9
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.1/firefox firefox
Note: you might need to modify the directory names to match your
setup. Thunderbird can be updated doing a similar process.
