Regarding Alexander Sack's instructions to reinstall, I found that this worked ONLY IF I closed Firefox first.
With Firefox closed, "sudo reinstall firefox-2" works: Setting up firefox-2 (2.0.0.14+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1) ... Please restart any running Firefoxes, or you will experience problems. Processing triggers for libc6 ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place -------------------- When I previously left Firefox open, it continued to fail: Setting up firefox-2 (2.0.0.14+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1) ...
