I thought this myself, and removed the IceWeasel/IceDove packages 
(leaving epiphany for other reasons). Downloaded Firefox and 
Thunderbird, unpacked into /opt directory as mentioned on the Mozilla 
website. With a bit of work on the links in /usr/bin and 
/usr/share/pixmaps and making sure the account I use generally has 
access to the directories in order to be able to auto-update. Extensions 
and such are installed in my home directory so they are easy to update 
as well.

AlF (as not to be confused with the other Allen on the list, great name 
and spelling, btw)
