Re: [Htmlvalidator-help] help to solve current problems on debian?

[Marc G. <mg...@sk...>]

Hi Peter,

Firefox compiled by Debian is compiled without XPCOM.
The extension is an external library that need XPCOM to work.

There is currently a Debian bug in discussion.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=378667

In short, there are 2 work-around.
1) download Firefox from the Mozilla.org site. This one works.
2) type this before to start Firefox on Debian only
    export LD_PRELOAD=libxpcom.so firefox
