Description

While trying to build Firefox for desktop on Kubuntu 14.04, I got the following error:

I'm reporting the error as requested.

I'm building with the system compiler and linker, which are gcc 4.9.0, and ld from binutils 2.24, respectively. I have nothing in my .mozconfig.

Please let me know if there is any further information I can provide.

This means your libstdc++.so.6 doesn't match your compiler.
