[SOLVED] Can't build Firefox anymore, wants old libjpeg?

Question

I first noticed this problem with my firefox-pgo package, but it appears the problem is specific to my system, and occurs even when I build [extra] firefox.
My builds, even though I have libjpeg 8 and don't have the 'libjpeg7' package, always result in a Firefox that wants version 7 of libjpeg, and fails because it can't find it (ldd confirms).
The interesting part is that any other package I build is fine with libjpeg 8 (ldd confirms with a built imlib2).
Any help would, obviously, be much appreciated.
EDIT: Got it fixed, somehow... not sure how.
Uninstalled old Firefox first, re-installed a lot of packages, rebuilt a lot of packages, and scoured my drive of unpackaged files.
