Thanks for a fix! I've been experiencing the same issue with Google Chrome on Linux Mint Debian Edition (as well as Ubuntu, but I got tired of Ubuntu), and I've tried the below solution however, at "./configure --prefix=$(pwd)" I get the error:

Any idea what the problem could be?

Also, this may be stupid, but I'm guessing that when running ./autogen.sh, one should not be in the build dir, which was created, since the file can't be found. Running ../autogen.sh in the build-dir replies with "autoreconf: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required"

On Ubuntu it worked fine in Firefox, however in LMDE Firefox crashes altogether. But I suspect another issue there.

Regards,
Rasmus
