Yes but there is also an configure option
"--enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2-dfb" for directfb and
whitch I have not tested at all and I remember that I have seen
somewhere in the net a way to
build firefox to use just DirectFB + Gtk2 and no Xorg at all.

There is also "--enable-mobile-optimize" configure switch whitch I
suspect will only affect building for Android phone
(at least theres are lot's of   #ifdef ANDROID stuff in the code)

So that switch combined with directfb could make a really small firefox
binary, at least for phones.
