First of all, the list of extensions for firefox may cause the compilation problems during build. Looks like some of those extensions expect more packages to be installed. So, after a bit of struggle I've removed the explicit list and let the firefox build system to decide. So, the building part was complete.
Could you please show the error? configure should be handling this and removing extensions that you don't have the dependencies for like gnome-vfs.
But running firefox for the first time was a bit tricky. It would simply segfault. Here strace helped. First I saw that it was trying to find .Xdefaults file or its equivivalent. I didn't have it. After adding it the next stumbling block was searching for fonts directory. Firefox wanted to find /usr/share/fonts (which I also didn't have) or fonts for ghostscript (not installed yet). After adding symlink from /usr/share/fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts the program finally started and works fine.
I didn't believe Alexander when he said no one reads the font configuration section. Now after about the 5th email this month were someone failed to configure their fonts, I believe him. Please read this section. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/x-setup.html#fonts However, you should have the /usr/share/fonts directory already if you followed the instructions in the BLFS SVN book.
