That's not true. libproxy can autodetect the proxy configuration from several
places, libmozjs being one of them. But if you don't have it, it can still
autodetect it from GConf (for GNOME), some KDE mechanism (I'm not a KDE guy!),
your environment, a configuration file... so we don't force anything to be
installed, because you most likely have installed something so that libproxy can
autodetect the proxy settings.
