I downloaded the installation file 'firefox-18.0.tar.bz2' from Mozilla and followed the installation instructions.
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /root/firefox/libxpcom.so: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM.That path "/root/firefox" is a very unusual path! Probably not what you want.That is strange as 'libuxl.so' was extracted from the installation tar and is in the directory. Any suggestions?You didn't say but is there a reason you aren't using the version 18 available from the Debian folks? http://mozilla.debian.net/ Works great! Just install it and go.
I did'nt know there was one. At the site you mentioned I only find references to 'Iceweasel'.Or is 'Iceweasel esr' that is recommended for installation equivalent to Firefox 18?
If nothing else you could always use it as a working example build if you are making custom modifications. Install the package source and rebuild the package on your machine and you would have a fully working example. Then make modifications from there. Bob
