no, as long as libnss and libnspr are built from the firefox source and
it is verified, that packages build depending on libnss-dev and
libnspr-dev still work.

The other alternative is to build libnss and libnspr from separate
upstream tarballs, but then firefox should be built against these
external packages as well.
