Rune,

Lets take this to the gecko-mediaplayer list... but it sounds like a
package config issue

what does this give you
pkg-config --variable=libdir firefox-plugin

That should give you the location of the firefox lib directory and then
xpidl is expected to be found there.

I had this same problem on Fedora 9 early in the development period,
they had bugs in their .pc files
