Perhaps I've misunterstood what you have written but nobody has to
create his own Mozilla *source* RPM(s) since *binary* RPMs are available
for example at ftp.mozilla.org.
The installation is very simple: After downloading the packages of your
choice you only have to run "rpm -Uvh mozilla*.rpm".
Kind Regards,
