No. PROVIDES and REQUIRES fields are generated automatically
at build time in pkgformat/pkg/metadata.mk

I haven't analyzed firefox yet. So, no idea.

But I'd like to draw develper's attention to the problems of the repository
we provide in general, e.g.
- PROVIDES/REQUIRES consistency
- A lot of missing CONFLICTS (they are collected by distbb bulk builds)
- Version of the package going backward (already discussed, collected
by distbb).
- REQUIRES that points to buid host temporary directory
- ...
