Mozilla builds with old libraries, IIRC they build on something as ancient as RedHat 8. To produce executables that run with library version X or newer build with library version X (assuming backward compatibility) -- to ensure your program actually works with version X, you need to build and test it with this version anyway (can be done for instance on a virtual machine). The other possibility is to dlopen everything -- generally fragile. The third possibility is to bundle the libraries -- probably not an option with X.
