If Firefox version A loads component "X" by absolute path, then Firefox 
version B will load the same component "X" very likely from the wrong 
folder, ie the version located in the Firefox version A folder (because it 
finds it there first). So this will not work and it is also quite messy. I 
don't want each Firefox version to append something to UserSetupEnvironment.

The most elegant solution is still to prepare the package correctly. 
Personally I am interested wether this is *technically* possible, I don't 
care so much if it ends up as a change in Mozilla trunk.

A) I remember a Firefox package in the past that was prepared as a native 
app.

B) Exporting the app folder and the component folder in the search path of 
add-ons and libs strongly hints to the fact that the problem would indeed 
be solved by moving stuff around in the Firefox folder.

So I am just trying to get some help from you guys, because you know best 
which components can/need to be moved, and which ones can not be.
