Description:
It seems firefox needs libwayland-egl.so.1 to run:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1645086#p1645086

Mesa (provides libwayland-egl.so.1) seems to be an indirect dependency of Firefox, but, depending on which graphics driver you are using, it is possible to have a situation where mesa is not installed after installing firefox. Due to libmozgtk.so needing libwayland-egl.so.1, and firefox being unable to run without it, mesa should probably be a direct dependency of firefox.

Additional info:
Fx 47 mentioned in the forum thread, but probably affects Fx 48 too.


Steps to reproduce:
Create a clean chroot, chroot/nspawn in and run 'pacman -S nvidia-libgl firefox'. Check the output, and note that mesa is not pulled in as a dependency.
This task depends upon

Nothing in the firefox package is linked to libwayland-egl.so. I'm guessing this is related to gtk3.
