Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
After upgrading to 6.06, Firefox will not start at all. Whenever I start it, the cursor changes to the "sandclock" for approx. 30s and then reverts back to normal, but no Firefox.
I first found out that it was unable to find 3 of its libraries: libmozjs.so, libxpcom.so and libxpcom_core.so. I couldn't find any fault with the firefox startup script, but somehow it was simply unable to see the libraries, so I simply copied them into a path where they could be found. I checked the results with ldd and all looked find.
However, it still doesn't start.
I tried to follow the instructions on how to get a stack trace, but it doesn't crash, it simply exits with code 1. No further information could be found.

What ubuntu version are you running? Find this by issuing 'dpkg -l mozilla- browser| grep ^ii' (without the quotes) at a command prompt. If that fails, try 'dpkg -l mozilla- firefox| grep ^ii' and post the output here.
