 Replying to [comment:5 boklm]:
 > I think we could ask Centos 6 users to install the firefox package, and
 in our wrapper script check if we are on Centos 6 and add
 `/usr/lib64/firefox/bundled/lib64` to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in that case.

 We could try that (we should take the architecture into account as well as
 this likely makes it necessary to add a different path to
 `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`).
