But am I supposed to have both folders? Shouldn't one of them (the old

if so, then why do I have to have a new folder)?
Seems to me that something's a bit wonky somewhere, but thought I'd
check here to see if
1) anybody else is seeing this
2) anybody knows a reason this configuration makes sense/is valid
before posting a bug.
I saw the same thing. I think the old folders would have been deleted
by portage, except that some plugins (like flash and realplayer)
installed symlinks into those directories, which prevented portage from
removing them just because firefox/thunderbird was updated.
I just rm -rf'd the directories...but a better plan would have been to:
equery belongs `find /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox -type f`
and the same thing for Thunderbird. After remerging all resulting
packages, there should be basically nothing left in either of the old
directories.
