Like others, I'm manually symlinking .so files on all of my interactive hosts and hoping updates don't break it. IMO this is not a valid workaround.

@ahasenack - I understand this is a roadmap item that would ideally resolve for multiple packages, but it seems that the Mozilla products are the worst offenders at the moment. I don't see anyone requesting anything else in this bug. Would it be possible to at least resolve it for Firefox and Thunderbird? What would it take to get this looked at for the next LTS?

For now, Thunderbird needs this too (and works for me on 18.0.3 LTS):

sudo mv /usr/lib/firefox/libnssckbi.so /usr/lib/firefox/libnssckbi.so.bak
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so /usr/lib/firefox/libnssckbi.so
sudo mv /usr/lib/thunderbird/libnssckbi.so /usr/lib/thunderbird/libnssckbi.so.bak
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so /usr/lib/thunderbird/libnssckbi.so
