Try giving it the whole absolute pathname.

I should really have cut-and-pasted my actual command lines rather than try to
write them out and getting them wrong. My actual command line was really

  LD_PRELOAD=/home/torvalds/mymemcpy.so /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome &

but you'd obviously have to fix that "/home/torvalds" part to match where-ever
you end up installing that .so file.

The nicest alternative might be to just install that mymemcpy.so into the
google chrome directory, and add the LD_PRELOAD to the wrapper shell script
that google chrome already uses for the xdg binaries and the ffmpeg library.

And obviously something similar should work for firefox. I just happen to use
chrome, so I gave the directions (approximate as they were) for the thing I
tried.

No guarantees. It was a really quick hack.
