as i updated firefox /usr/X11R6/firefox-config was
a symlink to the non-existing file
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/bin/mozilla-config.

if it is so then please korrekt this symlink to
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/bin/firefox-config and
it should (hopefully) work for you.

maybe you must still start it as root the first time.
