If you do happen to have a more powerful machine running Gentoo on a
compatible architecture[1], you could also try Gentoo binary packages
(that is, not -bin, but binary packages made from www-client/firefox and
mail-client/thunderbird on that machine, either automatically with
FEATURES=buildpkg, or manually using quickpkg or emerge --buildpkg).
[1] I guess it should also be possible to cross-compile, but that will
require additional steps, with which I am not acquainted.
Do you know Seamonkey? If you like it and it works for everything you
use Firefox and Thunderbird with, another idea to consider would be
replacing Firefox and Thunderbird with Seamonkey Navigator and Seamonkey
Mail&News. That way, it would be "just" one massive build instead of
two.
