Arch have a patch for thunderbird, described as for rustc-1.39.0.
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/thunderbird-rust-1.39.patch?h=packages/thunderbird
The first hunk looks pretty hairy, I doubt that there is a similar
patch for firefox-68. If people want to use the latest llvm then
they'll have to use a newer firefox with newer rust (details of
firefox build changes for versions newer than 68-esr are in the
wiki).
