After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) firefox 3.1 won't start.

Running from the terminal firefox-bin executable I get the following error:

I've check and the libxul.so file is in the same directory of the executable.

1. Run ./firefox-bin from terminal (using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty)
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try using ./firefox in the directory, rather than firefox-bin

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and comment on the bug.
