I am trying to figure out how to change the firefox script file. See this
excerpt below. What the heck is mre?

I did not change that line and I did change the moz_libdir to point to
/opt/firefox-2.0 (where I put it) and that let FireFox start. Still,
what is mre?

#uncomment for debugging
#set -x

moz_libdir=/usr/local/lib/firefox-2.0
MRE_HOME=/usr/local/lib/mre/mre-2.0

# Use run-mozilla.sh in the current dir if it exists
# If not, then start resolving symlinks until we find run-mozilla.sh
found=0
progname="$0"
curdir=`dirname "$progname"`
progbase=`basename "$progname"`
run_moz="$curdir/run-mozilla.sh"
