Do the upstream Firefox and/or Thunderbird contain nonfree components?
If so, please do not promote such software on this list.
I really really really cannot recommend this approach to packaging,
because it goes against one of the core properties of Guix:
reproducibility. Taking someone else's binary and hacking it until it
works isn't a real solution. The proper way to do this is to build
binaries from source that are compatible with Guix.
Thanks,
