Cause:

The firefox tarball package does not install the nss includes as it should. This annoying problem seems to be well known and worked around by packagers; for example, GARNOME has manual hacks to install this stuff for firefox when building it (see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/garnome/bootstrap/firefox/Makefile?view=markup) as does jhbuild when building the modules from cvs instead of tarballs (see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/jhbuild/jhbuild/modtypes/mozillamodule.py?view=markup).

Solution:

Assuming you are trying to install firefox-1.5.0.6 and your install prefix is /opt/tarball-gnome2, go to the mozilla checkout directory and run

mkdir /opt/tarball-gnome2/include/firefox-1.5.0.6/nss
cp -f dist/public/nss/*.h /opt/tarball-gnome2/include/firefox-1.5.0.6/nss/
