[Bug 112925] Re: eclipse crash, when spawning browser

[deckatron75]

I think I got hit by this, and found a temp work around.

Eclipse wants to use Firefox libraries by default.
Since the Eclipse/Firefox interaction is broken, we have to avoid
this.   There is an eclipse option under window->preferences->General->Web Browser,
do NOT select "Mozilla".

If you are like me, this will also crash eclipse.  I uninstalled eclipse & firefox.
Then I installed eclipse from eclipse.org.  Installing via apt-get will include
and try to user firefox by default, causing the crash.

Manual installation of eclipse from eclipse.org does NOT use mozilla be 
default, and so eclipse is usable.

Firefox can then be re-installed via apt-get, and you have a working eclipse
and firefox, even if they won't work well together.
