Is there any 3rd party repository for which I can get the latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird for CentOS 5.1 and install them using yum ?

to be honest, I am currently using the firefox2 and thunderbird2 binaries from mozilla.com ... they are fairly easy to install and keep updated on a limited number of machines.

but their build of firefox is linked against a different libstdc++ so some browser plugins (ie icedtea and xine-plugin) will not work with their build, unless you rebuild them against the older libstdc++

That's really too bad - because in my experience, the mozilla builds are more stable than the rebuilds of F8 src.rpm's that I'm using. Well - 2.0.0.12 hasn't crashed on me yet, but I've only been running it a few days (2.0.0.10 rpm install would often crash when opening a dialog box)
