I am curious. Does current mozilla software (firefox, thunderbid) run on your linux box based on Qt (only?). At least, on my Debian boxex, I had to install some additional library binaries to use firefox and thunderbird. But, to compile and link mozilla software, I needed to install additional debian development packages (namely header files that are NOT part of the ordinary library packages, and additional symbol files, I suspect.). Adding development packages (basically header files) were not that space-consuming considering that the binary libraries are already very large.
