Since someone mentioned upstream tarballs ...

Don't forget to re-label for SELinux contents.  One can use the "--reference" 
option in chcon to relable from /usr/lib/firefox-ver to, say, 
/usr/local/lib/firefox-ver that has been unbundled from tarball.

In reality, if one's Firefox/Thunderbird needs to be updated this much, Fedora 
becomes a consideration.  Fedora in a VM under Red Hat Enterprise Linux is an 
option as well, when one wants newer features, but still wants a solid, 
platform 
base.

I don't think it would be officially supported or anything but I do run the 
latest firefox and thunderbird from out of my $HOME directory in RHEL 5. The 
tarballs coming from downloads from mozilla.org. That way whenever a new 
version 
comes out from mozilla my local ($HOME directory) copies are automatically 
upgraded. (the apps just give me a little pop-up dialog telling me a new 
version 
is availible whenever its out, and would I like to restart...) I'm running 
thunderbird 3.1.2 and firefox 3.6.8 on RHEL 5 and CentOS 5 that way. They seem 
to work fine for me. YMMV. :)
