Yes, it will. cairo-gtk2 is the default (last I looked).

But that will only work until FF 3.5.x. 3.6 has OJI support removed.
And as all up-to-date Java plugins without security problems on Linux
are not OJI, you will want to not set this one.

Don't bother, or does it matter if you save 15 kB in the binaries? Nothing

is an integral part of Firefox by now. The flag above is probably ignored.

Use --disable-ogg is you don't want HTML5-like Ogg-Theora movies in
webpages.
