I'm not going to do you a tar ball bundle, I've not got the time when
we provide a perfectly good instance of Firefox that get security
updates and various other things to protect users. If you explain your
problem better I might be able to explain to you how to properly deal
with your Sugar Activity so that you don't need custom builds of
firefox that will only cause you problems later.
