I believe that the textrel_shlib_t is needed if you use the 32-bit binary
distribution as offered by Mozilla (for firefox), not if it is built from
source.

I'll build a firefox here and give feedback. 

In any case, you're correct in that textrel_shlib_t contexts should be
considered in the libraries.fc one instead. But I'll first see if I can
confirm if it is always necessary or only in particular situations.
