[Bug 85112] Re: Firefox crashes after watching embedded video (undefined symbol: NS_CStringContainerInit)

[Sebastien Bacher]

>From one duplicate:

"However the function (NS_CStringContainerInit) is part of the Mozilla
libraries, so this may be a firefox/mozilla problem.

The output from firefox is:

/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/totem
/libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so: undefined symbol:
NS_CStringContainerInit

A couple of objdump runs show that the function needed is provided by
/usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so. Perhaps there are link problems in how the
totem firefox plugins are being built.

There is a work around. Run firefox with:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so:/usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom_core.so
firefox

This forces the right libs to be linked in.

I am using Feisty of 2007 02 17."


Looks like that's one change from the new firefox packaging
