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?
