For those of you too impatient to wait for the official package, you can build Mozilla Firefox 8.0.1 using the .SlackBuild from ftp://slackware.oregonstate.edu/pub/slackware/slackware64-13.37/patches/source/mozilla-firefox/
Just grab these files:
firefox.moz_plugin_path.diff.gz
firefox.png
mimeTypes.rdf.gz
mozilla-firefox-mimeTypes-fix.diff.gz
mozilla-firefox.SlackBuild
mozilla-firefox.desktop
slack-desc
Then grab the source from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/8.0.1/source/
File:firefox-8.0.1.source.tar.bz2
File:firefox-8.0.1.source.tar.bz2.asc
Make mozilla-firefox.SlackBuild executable:
chmod a+x mozilla-firefox.SlackBuild
Then run it
./mozilla-firefox.SlackBuild
With any luck, you’ll end up with a package in /tmp called: mozilla-firefox-8.0.1-x86_64-1_slack13.37.txz
Happy day-of-the-turkey!

P.S. SeaMonkey 2.5 builds just fine with the SlackBuild stuff from ftp://slackware.oregonstate.edu/pub/slackware/slackware64-13.37/patches/source/seamonkey/ and the source from Mozilla.
