Bug Description
$ pkg-config firefox-gtkmozembed --cflags
-I/usr/
In the same time:
$ LC_ALL=C ls /usr/include/
ls: cannot access /usr/include/
It means that if you try to compile any project using these flags, you will fail.
To fix this problem in runtime one should create symlinks:
# ln -s /usr/include/
# ln -s /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/firefox-2
# ln -s /usr/share/

Yes, its probably a bug, but we don't support firefox 2 in any of our recent ubuntu releases. We only provided the hardy package as a transitional option for users that needed extensions not yet ported to firefox 3 when we initially released hardy. However, ffox 3 has reached enough adaption and ffox 2 has been EOL for a while now. you should build against xulrunner-1.9.
