Ah HA!  I figured it out, and it was really stupid too.

When i downloaded mozilla i got the full binary install instead of the installer which 
downloads the necessary files and installs them in the default directories.  So i have 
mozilla installed in /usr/local/mozilla1.0/mozilla/ which, of course, isn't in my 
$PATH.  =P

On a side note, does anyone know how to move the necessary files into a more standard 
location? (i tried making a link in /usr/local/bin to the binary but it said something 
about not being able to find some kind of resource when i ran it from there) 

Or am i just gonna have to use the installer when the next release comes out?
