I'm guessing you haven't fully updated your system and don't have nspr 4.9.2 installed.

Do a 'pacman -Syu'; most likely that'll fix the issue. (Partial updates like 'pacman -Sy firefox' are not supported.)

I had done 'pacman -Syu'.
In fact 'pacman -Qs nspr' returns
'local/nspr 4.9.2-1'
I have also tried to build firefox from abs. But without success. It stops compiling with the error:
"/home/gzmorell/abs/firefox/src/mozilla-release/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/bin/xpcshell: symbol lookup error: /home/gzmorell/abs/firefox/src/mozilla-release/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/bin/xpcshell: undefined symbol: __gcov_indirect_call_profiler
make[5]: *** [make-package-internal] Error 127"

I have found that the problem was that an erroneous nspr4 library was used (from another program), and it was in the ld.so.cache
So this bug is Not Valid.
Sorry for the noise.
