Hi Sean,
[root at therese root]# apt-cache search firefox
firefox - Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
flash-plugin - Macromedia Flash Player 6.0

Seems Firefox is provided by FC2.

My apt-get source for it:
rpm http://fedora.mirror.sdv.fr/fedora fedora/1.90/i386 os updates stable unstable testing
rpm-src http://fedora.mirror.sdv.fr/fedora fedora/1.90/i386 os updates

Anyway, that's true thunderbird is not provided. Don't know why.
Hope this helps.
Frederic
