Waited for Tim, and ticket was not created, so, creating it:
Included FF, SM and TB affects or will affect all.
At least gconf2 should probably be mentioned in the Errata for 7.8.

{{{
Just tried to build firefox 41.0 and it seems that it seems to require
gconf, which is neither mentioned as a required or recommended
dependency for firefox.
}}}
Solution which is mentioned in the thread by Markku Pesonen.
{{{
ac_add_options --disable-gconf
}}}
Several confirmations, and other thread started by Pierre Labastie:

== libnotify ==
[http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-
dev/2015-September/031223.html]
Libnotify references in the three mozconfigs can be removed.
Libnotify use with FF, SM and TB is currently broken and if not, would
be optional, at runtime. Dependencies need fixes.
