JGC has been working on more integrated mozilla packages. 0.7 will have one mozilla directory for mozilla, mozilla-firefox, and mozilla-thunderbird.

You need to re-login to add /opt/mozilla/bin to your path. After logging in again, /opt/mozilla is just another somewhat bigger project like KDE and Gnome that do the same with your profile.
The launcher icons are placed in /usr because KDE doesn't do nice things with icon lookups in XDG_DATA_DIRS.
