No, it is telling you that the files listed seem to miss the libraries
re[ported, but that they were found in /usr/local/lib/firefox. Firefox does
its own thing for finding its sharable libs, so /usr/local/lib/firefox is
not in the loader hint, but firefox knows where they are and does load
them. this is a side effect of -v. You asked for false positives and you
got them.

Oh, and specifying -R or -r is only relevant when a specific port is
listed. 'pkg_libchk -Rrv' does nothing more than just 'pkg_libchk -v'.
