This is a problem you'll get with trying to install apps from
tarballs as they won't necessarily include the dependant libraries.

correct, there wont be a package with that name, what you need to do
is find out which package supplies that file first.
I use wajig for doing this sort of thing so:
benden:~# wajig whichpkg libxpcom_core.so
File Path Package
====================================================
/usr/lib/iceweasel/libxpcom_core.so iceweasel
usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom_core.so web/firefox-dbg
usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/iceape/libxpcom_core.so devel/iceape-dbg
usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/icedove/libxpcom_core.so mail/icedove-dbg
usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/iceweasel/libxpcom_core.so devel/iceweasel-dbg
usr/lib/iceape/libxpcom_core.so web/iceape-browser
usr/lib/icedove/libxpcom_core.so mail/icedove
usr/lib/iceweasel/libxpcom_core.so web/iceweasel
so it looks like it was supplied as part of the iceweasel package on
my system
Your problem is, I guess, that stable & testing do not include a
package called sunbird so you are having to use a non-debian version.
