Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
While attempting to start firefox, it does nothing. When starting from
terminal, there is no output; it just drops back to the prompt. However,
using gdb, I have been able to determine that firefox is crashing with
the following error:
"/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Program exited with code 0177."
A workaround that I have found is to start firefox with the --safe-mode
command line option, click the "Quit" button, then start normally.
Firefox runs perfectly afterwards, but when I close it, I have to do the
same thing to reopen.
Current behavior: Firefox crashes on execution with the above listed error.
Expected behavior: Firefox to start.
