I downloaded firefox-2.0.0.1.tar.gz from mozilla.com and tried to execute 
./firefox in the directory in which I had uncompressed the archive. 
Unfortunately, I got a segmentation fault.  When I tried to run ./firefox-bin, 
I 
got this error:

./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

Interestingly, after the latest security fix for the Ubuntu firefox package, 
the 
Indic fonts seem to be rendered correctly.

FYI, I think that the .deb that caused the problem rendering Indic
scripts was:

firefox_2.0+0dfsg-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

and the package that fixed it was:

firefox_2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10_i386.deb

I will attach the about:buildconfig page and a PNG image of the correctly 
rendered Indic script at launchpad.

May I request that whoever builds these packages does not change options 
between 
succesive builds (especially for security updates) so that functionality is 
invariant.

Thank you so much for your attention.
