The catch here is the firefox version I show above with 2.0.0.8 was using 
firefox invoked from the command line.

Some more details:

scott at scott-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox$ ./firefox <-- this brings up 
2.0.0.8 per Help > About Firefox, though ./firefox --version shows 2.0.0.11

scott at scott-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox$ ./firefox-bin
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory
scott at scott-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox$
