Yeah . . . the stupid docs are wrong. It's under Tools.

Umm, Ray, there's a problem here. All the filters get _alphabetized_.
That's pretty dumb; suppose you want them applied in a different
sequence? For example, suppose I have a JunkMail folder and a Spam
folder *and* I have a Family folder and a SCOUG folder. Then junk &
spam will still end up in my Family folder, and any message to the SCOUG
list that mentions junk or spam might never get into the SCOUG folder.

The filters are all kept in the rules.dat file (take a look).

They should work just fine. Mozilla simply adds a few extra header
lines for its own tracking.
