** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
  
  Did update-manager -d (upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 alpha 3).  Firefox
  (3.6) initially worked, but no longer does.  Trying to launch via menu
  results in disk activity, then nothing.  ps -ef |grep -i firefox shows
  no process.  Trying to launch via cli - eg /usr/bin/firefox, or from
  inside /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/ results in getting a new prompt; except for
  ./firefox-bin which gives a libxul.so error - I tried a forced reinstall
  of the providing package, but the failure mode remains unchanged. no
  firefox/mozilla pids in /var/run/
