Comment:
This is liferea 1.0.4-1ubuntu1 in Dapper.
liferea-mozilla depends on firefox and I would guess it's only binary compatible with the firefox libs and not the mozilla libs.

the problem is this:
liferea searches for installations in this order:
look_for_mozilla "/usr/lib/firefox"
look_for_mozilla "/usr/lib/mozilla*/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/usr/local/mozilla*/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/opt/mozilla/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/opt/mozilla/lib/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/opt/gnome/lib/mozilla/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/usr/lib/firefox*/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/usr/local/firefox*/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/opt/firefox/chrome/comm.jar"
look_for_mozilla "/opt/firefox/lib/chrome/comm.jar"

But when it runs with firefox it's actually matches first at the 7:th rule, which means that mozilla has higher priority.
Since liferea-mozilla DEPENDS on firefox, firefox will allways be installed, so all mozilla rules could be removed from that start file.
