That is not want I meant. Other Distros are able to build the Firefox in
that way, that third party binary components are able to run. I think it
is better, if the Ubuntu Firefox is build the "compatible" way. The
Ubuntu Thunderbird for example is build the "compatible" way. That means
that the Ubuntu maintainers of Thunderbird and Firefox have different
build strategies. The Thunderbird strategy is better in my opinion,
because it allows third party components.

The work around, to start the Firefox from the Thunderbird makes another
library available. That shows the different dependencies of Thunderbird
and Firefox in the Ubuntu build.

All third party components are normally build to work in the official
Mozilla releases. Firefox and Thunderbird have no xulrunner dependency
in that case. In Ubuntu the firefox-3.0 has a dependency on
xulrunner-1.9. thunderbird has not.

I hope this posting is a bit better understandable.
