The main problem is that, without the patched extension manager, is near 
impossible integrate extensions/themes from ports/packages.

The other solution is use a vfb server to do the work required as root, 
but I've bad feedback on this.

I carefully documented what is done.  Most  of the patches have real 
sense  in  a Unix env  and
does't violates any mozilla policies.

I posted this to now:

- If any of the patches have a side ill efect.
- If any of the patches have any problem with mozilla logos or trademarks
- If sugested fixes/functionality don't get the price.

Please, review this, bit by bit.

Most of this (I'm not sure about all) may be valid for, at last, a 
'comunity release'.

Also, part of this can be make from extra-patches and controlled from 
options if you need branding for
official builds.

you can get a better view of all this work by
$ cd wk
$ tar -xjf .../firefox-1.0-source.tar.bz2
$ fetch 
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox_1.0+dfsg.1-1.diff.gz
$ cd mozilla
$ zcat ../mozilla-firefox_1.0+dfsg.1-1.diff.gz patch -p1

Right now, get a way to install extension/themes/langpacks from ports 
seems most important that
mozilla icons (none of our ports works with the new firefox/thunderbird 
extensions manager).
