After upgrading to libpng-1.6 the compilation step for firefox-20.0.1 
completes without problems.
However, when building the installer, the process fails with:
...
/sources/mozilla-release/firefox-build-dir/dist/bin/xpcshell: error while 
loading shared libraries: libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory
make[2]: *** [prepare-package] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/mozilla-release/firefox-build-
dir/browser/installer'
make[1]: *** [make-package] Error 2
...

Creating a symlink with:
ln -svf /usr/lib/libpng16.so.16.2.0 libpng15.so.15

fixes the problem.

If the symlink is deleted after installing firefox, firefox won't start:
...
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox-20.0.1/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
...

Anyone else experiencing this?
