But it doesn't seem to include firefox-js.pc.  I couldn't find any real references to it on the net that makes sense.

I just encountered this error today, but the "mozilla-nspr" error has kept me from compiling for a month. I always had the mozilla-nspr error message appear while building the "gnome-shell" module, but this new one does occur much earlier in the build process. Out of curiousity, are you by chance using the Firefox Daily PPA? I'm pretty sure that's where my version of xulrunner came from, and I'm wondering if it may have moved some files around.
