Yes it does.

It is the same. I recompiled firefox with this mozconfig:

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/tmp/firefox-build-dir
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --with-pthreads
ac_add_options --with-system-bz2
ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --with-system-png
ac_add_options --enable-system-lcms
ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite
ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification
ac_add_options --enable-shared
ac_add_options --disable-static
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter
ac_add_options --disable-installer
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-tests

and the end result was the same. It is the same size as before (give or
take a few bytes for timestamps and so on) and ldd shows it's linked to
exactly the same libraries as before.
