User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0 Build ID: 20121010144125 Steps to reproduce: Updated Aurora channel from Firefox 17 to 18, in Mandriva 2010. Actual results: Firefox would no longer start. Terminal showed: "XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM." In fact libxul.so is in usr/lib/firefox ! Reverted to Firefox 17 and all was well again. Expected results: Firefox should start.
Please follow the suggestions from Comment 25.

Thank you for your suggestion. I followed the instructions in Comment 25 but Firefox would not start. I got the error message "cannot execute binary file".
Are you on a 64 bit system? 64 bit binary won't run too well on a 32 bit machine.
No, I am on a 32 bit machine. Is there any other solution I can try to get round this bug?
