Blizzard has mentioned that he likes Firebird and Thunderbird, but at 
the moment they lack smooth automatic import functionality to transition 
from the older browser & mail client.  There is also the huge xremote 
conflict problem and broken /usr/bin/mozilla script to deal with.

For the moment please try MozillaFirebird from fedora.us stable and 
MozillaThunderbird from here:
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1113

I think I solved the xremote conflict problem.  It also works nicely 
with the browser that you choose in Preferences -> Preferred 
Applications.  I believe MozillaThunderbird is finally ready to be 
published, so somebody QA it damn it! =)
