Firefox now installs in a default directory that the install script chooses
for you. alternatively, you can specify a different directory when running
the script; it will prompt you. The install dir fully contains firefox - it
is essentially sandboxed in that directory, except for the home .mozilla
directory. I've never had any trouble installing this way, and on Gentoo
that's a savings of a few hours compile time. :)
