Public bug reported: in xfce (did not check other desktops) clicking internet menu item for firefox produces defunct firefox. starting it from terminal works normally, apart from the messages:
** (firefox:4814): WARNING **: Failed to open webapp application path dir /usr/share/xfce/unity-webapps/userscripts: Error opening directory '/usr/share/xfce/unity-webapps/userscripts': No such file or directory ** (firefox:4814): WARNING **: Failed to open webapp application path dir /usr/local/share/unity-webapps/userscripts: Error opening directory '/usr/local/share/unity-webapps/userscripts': No such file or directory workaround: kill the process /usr/lib/firefox/firefox; this removes the [firefox] <defunct> also; then start it from terminal...
