I discovered that it uses an internal version of one of the icu libs (icu-i18n), and has been doing so for some time. Only noticed because my upgrade on old LFS-7.2 failed with

../libjs_static.a(Intl.o): In function `js::intl_Collator_availableLocales(JSContext*, unsigned int, JS::Value*)':
/scratch/working/mozilla-release/js/src/builtin/Intl.cpp:738: undefined reference to `ucol_countAvailable_52'

and a lot more similar errors. I suspect something in gcc-4.7.1 caused that, my builds on gcc-4.8 were ok. Firefox bug ​https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=971663 but clearly most people are not affected.

Managed to build it against system icu-52.1 on that system, using

ac_add_options --with-system-icu

I have not tried with current BLFS (gcc-4.9, icu-53.1).

Builds and runs for me with current instructions and with

ac_add_options --with-system-icu

using GCC 4.9.0 and ICU-52.1.

Straight firefox also builds like this with gcc-4.9.0 and icu-53.1. Xulrunner and firefox on xulrunner also built (and didn't complain about) --with-system-icu in LFS-7.5 with icu-52.1. I'll take this.
