No, its false.  Both of those are there:

root root    15048 Jun 5 11:45 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
root root 20282296 Jun 5 11:45 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

   ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libx*com.so
      linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb773c000)
      libxul.so => not found
      libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75bb000)
      /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb773d000)

Note that even in that output it says:

      libxul.so => not found

I get more output from ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

 (File attached at the end)

Some 73 lines with several occurrences of `not found'.  However none of
them refer to libxul.so or libxpcom.so

I don't know but the only sources I have in use are these:

  deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
  deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
