Notes to self.
I really want to use Thunderbird & Firefox ESR on my linux boxes,
and as I have converted existing ones over from Windows it is becoming
a pain to do it all by hand.
As no one seems to have a PPA for them yet, it looks like I'll have to
try and build my own.
As I don't like to reinvent the wheel, I have had a look at the current
'standard' Thunderbird and Firefox that I have installed in my Mint
box.
It looks like I can use quite a bit of the current deb structure and
then replace it with those from Mozilla here :

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html
Will have a go later and see what happens.

A couple of (old) deb compilators - need to see if there is anything up
to date :
This seems to still have some development :
