My build is finished (my normal packages, but only as far as firefox),
and it seems to work.

The base system (probably irrelevant, since I think you were on
LFS-7.10) is LFS-svn-20161022, with BLFS packages updated to r17862
(20161009 where you added xdg-user-dirs.

Along with that, the following ARE up to date:

curl-7.51.0, firefox-49.0.2, nspr-4.13.1, nss-3.27.1, sqlite-3.15.0.

I have used the default google, also en.wikipedia and duckduckgo,
all to search for firefox.  I have used https:// to google,
kernel.org, amazon.

Looking at what is NOT up to date in this build (from BLFS trac) I
noticed the following:

poppler-0.48.0 - I have not built (older) poppler yet
vala-0.34.1 - I still have 0.32.1
gnutls-3.5.5 - I still have 3.5.3
sudo-1.8.18p1 - I still have 1.8.17p1
icu-58.1 - I still have 57.1
libpng-1.6.26 - I still have 1.6.26
libXi-1.7.8 - I still have 1.7.7
harfbuzz-1.3.3 - I still have 1.3.2

Obviously, there might also be something else which I have not
built, but which you guys did build.

I can't test thunderbird (no spare mail account), and for the moment
I don't see any point in testing seamonkey.

Oddly, while the build was running last night I used firefox on the
7.10 host and late-on (possibly in the early part of BLFS) the
"smart bar" suggestions suddenly started spreading out to left and
right of the main firefox window, and remained there.  Killed
firefox, the spread-out windows at the edges remained but eventually
disappeared. It happened again, but the spread-out parts later
disappeared.  It (the host) was fine a couple of hours ago when I
searched re net-tools, and the new one is fine.

I have a suspicion that icu-58.1 might be the problem - it is
linked by libxul.so.  For firefox, I'm using system harfbuzz - it
seems unlikely that moving that from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3 will break
things, and in any case we do not use system harfbuzz in seamonkey
or thunderbird.
