Bingo!  That was the magic - putting freetype2 down to 2.1.7 on all my 
systems cleared up the firefox issue on every single one.

As a note to anyone else who's having these issues - if you've cleared 
firefox off your system and are rebuilding it after downgrading 
freetype2, you'll have to comment out the freetype patch line at the 
beginning of firefox's BUILD file.

Now to find out how to get mplayerplug-in to build...
