Using xpcshell et al.
---------------------
The `run-mozilla.sh' script supplied by upstream Mozilla is
overcomplex and incorrect for the Debian package setup.  To run
xpcshell, or other binaries in /usr/lib/firefox, it is sufficient to
add /usr/lib/firefox to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Eg,

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox 
/usr/lib/firefox/xpcshell 
 js>

We apologise for the fact that this is necessary.  In principle it
would be possible to arrange for xpcshell to have the correct
directory compiled in; however, this is tricky given the complexity of the 
Mozilla build system, so that it is probably easier for developers who need 
xpcshell, xpidl, et al, to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Therefor I reject this bug - I think the solution offered by Debian is
just as simple as having a mozilla-run.sh.

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
