After installing Seamonkey, Thunderbird and Firefox with Talkback Clients I had
to configure my firewall three times to make the talkback client able to work.
So I ask myself, why it's not possible to install the talkback client into a
seperate directory and use this talkback client for all mozilla products?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Seamonkey
2. Install Firefox
3. Install Thunderbird

Actual Results:  
You got three talkback clients on your harddisk

Expected Results:  
You should have only one single talkback client on your harddisk

Currently, this is very difficult to do because the apps connect to Talkback
through different means. I believe his has been discussed elsewhere as well and
a decision was reached that the work involved in trying to create a single
location etc. probably negated the benefit gained, compared to some other patches.

Marking wontfix.  I can't find the old bug, but this was discussed a while back
and it was decided that we will not be able to do this with the current state of
the Talkback Client.  Since we don't have the source code, we couldn't do
anything about it anyway, even if we decided to explore such an option.
