Public bug reported:
As reported when a bug was found with a particular extension for Firefox
here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/243869
The problem seems to be caused by a missing symlink in the package for
Firefox 3. Binary components in Firefox extensions are linked against
libnspr4.so. However, Ubuntu's libnspr4.so is named libnspr4.so.0d.
For those experiencing issues there is a work around for the bug at the
moment:
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libnspr4.so.0d libnspr4.so
cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default
rm xpti.dat compreg.dat
This will create the missing symlink and also clear the Firefox
component cache to force it into reloading previously failed libraries
caused by the misnaming of libnspr4.so
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
