You don't need to recompile it.

Just run with:
MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox

If you want to make it permanent(until next update), then:
Code:
sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox.orig
Code:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/firefox
insert this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox.orig $@
Code:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/firefox
