Hi,
When upgrading to Firefox 41.0, the build failed with:

Actually, the behavior has changed for FF 41, see:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1167201
There are two possibilities:
a) Add --disable-gconf to mozconfig
b) Make gconf a recommended dependency
The definition we use for gconf is : contains a configuration database
system used by many GNOME applications.
Does FF need that? I suspect not. My reaction is to put gconf into
the optional dependencies and use --disable-gconf in the mozconfig file.
Has FF been tested without gconf?

It builds and starts OK without gconf. Maybe using gconf would avoids
this kind of messages, which appear when starting FF from a terminal:
---------------------
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings
will not be saved or shared with other applications.
---------------------
Maybe "our definition" of gconf is not exact... OTOH, I prefer option a)
too.
The behavior respective to gconf changed for versions 41 and up. So it
is normal that this problem is not addresssed for TB, which is at 38.2.
