Hmm...

I don't think that a firefox-devel package would be necessary, if even  
useful.  Mozilla-devel is what contains the gecko codebase & etc that  
can used in other applications, such as the help viewer or  
openoffice.org.  Currently all (well, the integration of firefox into  
fedora and other distros may change this in the future) packages use  
the mozilla-devel package if it needs html rendering capability.

The fact that all I did was 1) download the fedora source rpm, 2)  
install the SRPM, 3) Replace the 1.0.1 source tarball with a 1.0.2  
source tarball, and 4) make the binary is a testament to that.
