Hi all,
I am the HTML validator extension author. I noticed this bug due to
several mails I receive from Debian users. Even, if I do not use Debian
distribution.
The conversation, analysis is quite interesting. To answer to a
particular remark above, linking to the XPCOM glue is not stupid at all
!!! It is even needed.
If I was linking the library to the full XPCOM of a particular firefox
version. The extension would only work with that particular Firefox
version. By linking to XPCOM glue, I am able to make the same extension
work for Mozilla Suite, Seamonkey, Firefox 1.0, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0.
Without XPCOM glue, I would need 5 Linux binaries for the same
program what is, in practice, impossible to maintain.
I hope you understand better the use of XPCOM glue. So, in short, there
is a specific Firefox problem on Debian only that cause possibly all
native extension of Firefox not to work. (Colorzilla does the same thing
I think). And I hope it is simply to to a compilation flag :-)
I hope it helps,
Marc
