Firefox for Android does not require any Google services. We recommend you install from the Play Store. However if you want a self updating version of Firefox outside the Play Store I recommend you install our Aurora version at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/

After installing Firefox or Aurora you should be able to follow https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync to set up Firefox Sync.

There is no version of Thunderbird for Android. You could try the popular and open source k-9 Mail.
