Description
We should patch or pass a configure option to Firefox, Thunderbird and Mozilla so they install this directory in their respective /usr/lib subdirectories. Otherwise there could be conflicts if they are all installed in the /usr hierarchy. The current state could also be breaking FHS.

This has been fixed in the latest firefox, but is still an issue in the latest thunderbird. Will make this a dependency of the thunderbird bug.
The fix is:
sed -i -e "s/$(destdir)$(bindir)/$(DESTDIR)$(mozappdir)/" \
mail/app/Makefile.in

Some notes about this bug:
Which only leaves the FHS breakage thing, which is probably valid.
