    I am sure that Firefox and Thunderbird are part of Mandrake.

    I used Mandrake before I switched to Debian. I know my friend has firefox on
    his Mandrake machine, and he is a Windows user, so he definately wouldn't have
    known how to compile and install a program from source on Linux.

    There is a package manangement program with Mandrake.

    Choose this, then search for mozilla in the package name.

    The option to install firefox and thunderbird will be provided.

    Regards,

    Mark.
