So, when it does not work, it is natural that users ask to the list. I am almost sure the OP knew what to do when he saw that error. Actually, the original post was about the SHELL variable, not gstreamer.
@Richard: xterm does not set the SHELL environment variable if the shell is not listed in the /etc/shells file (see "man xterm"). It only sets XTERM_SHELL in that case. So, several solutions: export SHELL=$XTERM_SHELL before running firefox building instructions, or as you already found out, SHELL=/bin/sh make... or create the /etc/shells file (Chapter 3 of the BLFS book), and restart xterm.
