Newbie wants Firefox and Tbird

[Albert <albertwagner@cox.net>]

I am a new user of Debian.  My first task after system install is 
to install Firefox and Tbird, preferably the latest 1.0.6 or 
1.0.7.  It's a piece of cake to download and install these from 
the mozilla site, but I have no idea how I might then wrap them 
with an icon and to get them to show in the menus.  Do debian 
users not do this sort of thing?  If so, could someone point me 
to the appropriate documentation?
