The attached patch just hardcodes the "right" directories instead of using the configuration variables mozappdir or includedir.
It is untested but I see no reason why it shouldn't work?

what about idldir?

That is only used in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/firefox-2-xpcom.pc, I have no idea what uses it has. If that also needs patching, than the attached one will do.

No more fixes for Firefox 2. Changelog does not confirm fix was actually released.
