[Bug 513887] Re: Flash, Java, etc. does not work with out of process plugins and causes Firefox to become unresponsive

[Dana Goyette]

For the time being, I've worked around this bug by creating my own
wrapper around mozilla-runtime.

I dpkg-diverted mozilla-runtime out of the way:
sudo dpkg-divert --local --add --rename /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.3a4pre/mozilla-runtime

I then created in a text editor (nano) and marked executable (chmod +x ) a new mozilla-runtime with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.3a4pre/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.3a4pre/mozilla-runtime.distrib $@

It seems mozilla-runtime is being called with neither PATH nor
LD_LIBRARY_PATH containing the xulrunner directory.

Note that since I have overridden mozilla-runtime, apport now gives me "This report does not apply to a packaged program":

Once we get an official fix, you can undo my changes by deleting the custom "mozilla-runtime" wrapper, and then un-diverting the original:
sudo dpkg-divert --local --remove --rename /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.3a4pre/mozilla-runtime
