maybe. It works for me without it though, but setting it to a bad value
is not good. The iceape binary does not ignore MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME in case
it is set. If it is not clear how the binaries make use of the env, why
not stick to the upstream scripts as closely as possible _for all_ ice*?
seamonkey, firefox and thunderbird all use the same run-mozilla.sh.
IMHO, the debian release should only differ where this is needed for
debian, and this need should be reevaluated anew for each upstream release.
