libIDL 0.6.3 or higher is required.

That looks right. (Btw "/usr/local/bin/libIDL-config was installed by
package ORBit-0.5.17_2" and that doesn't appear to be a dependency of
firefox's. I think the message from firefox install is just confusing
the issue and it is libIDL-config-2 that's required).
More obvious questions. You are doing the firefox install as root and
root does have /usr/local/bin/ in it's path and libIDL-config-2 is
executable? As root check with: "which libIDL-config-2".
Just to confirm it working, I tried just configuring firefox and got:
checking for libIDL-2.0 >= 0.8.0... yes
checking LIBIDL_CFLAGS... -I/usr/local/include/libIDL-2.0
-I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include
checking LIBIDL_LIBS... -L/usr/local/lib -lIDL-2
I'm not sure what else to suggest. make clean in firefox and try
making again.
