Title:
Firefox cannot load Flash because of libxul broken dependency
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When I start Firefox version 56 in my console and then go to a page
using Adobe Flash, I get the following errors:
/usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_screen_get_monitor_workarea

Each time the problem is the same: gdk_screen_get_monitor_workarea is
undefined. Gnome marked that function as deprecated, but Firefox
version 55 worked just fine, whereas Firefox 56 fails with Flash.
