This doesn't work do to bugs in rpm (Ville: Does this still apply, or this rpm
finally been fixed).

The problem is not firefox, the problem is removing "%{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins"
the directory, when it's not needed anymore.

That is what I wrote a couple of days ago in another package's review:

- If several packages share a common directory, and if they depend on each other
in a strict hierarchy, then letting the "root package" own this dir is sufficient.
- If they don't depend on each other in a strict hierarchy, all of the packages
must own this directory.

The former doesn't apply to gxine-mozplug => Only the latter is applicable.

"Requires: firefox" would be a hack to force the former approach, though this,
strictly speaking is incorrect and too strict (It's the same "hack" why packages
providing *.pc must "Require: pkgconfig" and packages providing aclocal/*.m4
must "Require: automake". Both these "Require"-ments are hacks/band-aids and
actually wrong, but provided rpm persists to be unfixed/unmaintained, these are
"easy hacks").
