>Description:

Firefox builds now depend on nodejs:

=> Returning to build of firefox-63.0.1
=> Tool dependency nodejs-[0-9]*: NOT found
=> Verifying reinstall for ../../lang/nodejs


This is inacceptable and narrows down the supported architecturs, we
need to pre-generate the results and ship them, if absolutely needed.

>How-To-Repeat:

Just try to build www/firefox and fail.

>Fix:
n/a

 You have a whole release of --disable-nodejs being a valid configuration
 flag (it won't be possible on firefox 64), but we should figure out how
 to avoid this. It also affects ARM.
