Ah, I didn't wait long enough for this link to show up in the animation
of the Firefox about box.

Hmm, so what method do you suggest to include it? Should I make a patch
for license.html to add the FreeType license with a prefix that says
"This license applies to the file components/gklayout.dll as shipped
in cairo-enabled OS/2 builds"
(the layout DLL is where the FreeType part gets linked into) or
something like that? For static builds it ends up in the .exe.
And for the other already listed licenses (Expat and Cairo) add that
they also "apply to mzfntcfg.dll as shipped in cairo-enabled OS/2
builds". Seems a bit weird...

No, it is part of one of the prerequisite libraries ("mozfntcfgft"), see
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/OS/2_Build_Prerequisites
and the sources are available from a publically accessible site that
until now I linked it in the README file as well as on the devmo site.
