This seems to have been resurrected in Karmic and 3.4.1-0ubuntu2.
$ apt-cache depends eclipse-platform | grep firefox
Depends: firefox
Also at http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/eclipse-platform;
dep: firefox (>= 1.4.99)
meta package for the popular mozilla web browser
also a virtual package provided by abrowser
I understand Eclipse needs xulrunner as a build dependency
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/191586/comments/2),
but I really doubt the app itself does.
