firefox/thunderbird do not work

[doug]

I just upgraded my workstation getting: xorg-7.7_2, xfce-4.12_1. The goal was to 
get the latest version of the file manager (thunar). This resulted in 
sqlite3-3.14.1_1. The current versions of firefox and thunderbird do not work 
with this version of sqlite3. Both give the message:

       The application has been updated, but the SQLite library wasn't updated
       properly and the application cannot run. Please try to launch the
       application again. If that should still fail, please try reinstalling it,
       or visit https://support.mozilla.org/.

Is there a way around this?
