Good catch! I've taken a look here, and it appears that libgnome* 
doesn't show up in a ldd of firefox-bin, so it wasn't getting added to 
the library. It must be loading dynamically from elsewhere. I've fixed 
it up in svn, and am rebuilding it now for 7.0.2, when its finished can 
you re-test it and confirm it fixes this issue?

I'll do a bit of digging to see if I can figure out how we can detect 
libraries which get loaded elsewhere in the runtime, so we can copy them 
into the archive.
