You need to install whatever package provides the file

   /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/mozilla-plugin.pc

On a Fedora distribution this is

  xulrunner-devel

Other distros might use a different name.

Beware though, that the browser plugin is somewhat unmaintained and I may
well even delete it in a future release, since it is rather a mess.
