Assuming the tensioner is keeping the belt tight, you need to make sure all of the pulleys are still in a straight line. If a bearing has failed in a pulley the puley will "lean" causing the belt to run off the edge.

Why does the serpentine belt keep slipping off the bottom pulley after replacing the belt and tensioner on a 1995 Ford Thunderbird V8 4 6L?

Chances are the belt and tensioner is not the problem. Your water pump is. Check the bottom of the water pump and see if there is some anti-freeze comming from the weep hole. If there is then that is the problem. Anti-freeze will cause a serpentine belt to come off because of its lubricating properties If there are not leaking fluids dripping on the belt that would cause it to come off then, it sounds like a belt alignment problem. You should check your mechanics guide to determine how to adjust the alignment.
