Description Mark Davies 2012-09-04 20:05:54 UTC 
The www-client/firefox-10.0.6 build fails on a new system with little else installed giving the error

checking for curl/curl.h... no
configure: error: Couldn't find curl/curl.h which is required for the crash reporter.  Use --disable-crashreporter to disable the crash reporter.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with               "make -f client.mk build"

If I install net-misc/curl first the firefox build succeeds.

I assume firefox versions after 10.0.6 will also depend on net-misc/curl. The dependancy was present in the 10.0.5 ebuild but controlled by the crashreporter use flag which has been removed

Reproducible: Always

This was an oversight on my part, I removed crashreporter useflag and will fix the eclass to always disable crashreporter in firefox/thunderbird/seamonkey which will resolve the problem.
Comment 2 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2012-09-12 22:52:56 UTC 
Crashreporter is now disabled in all mozilla products, which eliminates the dep all together.
