What I've ended up doing is just installing Mozilla by hand, and
ignoring the various distros' attempts to keep up.

So what I do is just download a Mozilla installer.  Run the installer
and tell it to put Mozilla in ~/mozilla-<version>.  Then I put a link
to ~/mozilla-<version>/mozilla in ~/bin (which is in my PATH).

You will also probably want to find the menu entries and/or desktop or
task bar icons, and make them point to ~/bin/mozilla.

Now you can just keep getting whatever Mozillas you want without root
mode.  Just update the ~/bin/mozilla link when you do, and all the
icons and what-have-you will just work.  This makes installing and
controlling plugins easier, too.

YMMV, but I find this much less hassle, and it gets me a Mozilla
version that's just as fresh or stale as I want....
