firefox package dependencies lacking

[Vit Hrachovy]

Trying to install firefox package (aptitude install firefox) results in following errors in postinst script:

/usr/sbin/update-mozilla-firefox-chrome: line 106: 784 Killed
E: Registration process existed with status: 137
E: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/installed-extensions.txt still present. Registration might have gone wrong.
mv: cannot stat '/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults.ini': No such file or directory

In fact the script was trying to run /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin which is missing many libraries.
  libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
  libatk-1.0.so.0
  libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
  libpangocairo-1.0.so.0
  libpango-1.0.so.0
  libcairo.so.2
  libpangoft2-1.0.so.0

Seems the package does not define its dependencies well.
I don't have GNOME installed (just base x-window-system-core, fonts and fluxbox).

I propose adding the following packages to depends:
libcairo2 libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-common libatk1.0-0 libatk1.0-data libgdk-pixbuf2 libglib1.2 libgtk1.2 libgtk1.2-common hicolor-icon-theme libtiff4

Upon firefox startup program says it's missing file '/usr/share/nexenta-artwork/home/index.html'.
Consider adding
  gtk2-engines-clearlooks nexenta-artwork
to package recommends section.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'firefox'; however, that package was not published in Nexenta Operating System.

Using b104 i just had one bug, firefox could not found libjemalloc.so i made a link from xulrunner dir that is where the lib was to /usr/lib and firefox3 run smooth.

We might need to include the following patch (or a variant of it):

Isn't this actually a bug with XULRUNNER?

The Firefox package in Ubuntu (and Debian) contains a patch to stop libjemalloc.so from being copied across.

I was also bitten by this. Please fix.
