Here's what I got when I tried:

HAL9000:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i libnspr3_M13-2_i386.deb 
(Reading database ... 73380 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libnspr3 M12-1 (using libnspr3_M13-2_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libnspr3 ...
Setting up libnspr3 (M13-2) ...

HAL9000:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i mozilla_M13-2_i386.deb 
(Reading database ... 73380 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace mozilla M13-2 (using mozilla_M13-2_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement mozilla ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mozilla:
 mozilla depends on libnspr3 (= M13); however:
  Version of libnspr3 on system is M13-2.
dpkg: error processing mozilla (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mozilla

I guess that 13 != 13-2  The control file in the .deb has the depends entry
of:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) <bunch snipped>  libnspr3 (=M13)
I'd guess that the last one there needs changed to libnspr3 (>=13) or
maybe libnspr3 (=13-2)  I'm really not sure which.  I tried to go in
using Midnight Commander and change that, but the change didn't get saved.
I'm not yet familiar enough with the deb tools to unpack and repack a deb.
