Amazing that it only took slightly more than a year to move this from
New to Incomplete. That's the spirit for such an important project such
as FF. :-)

Title:
  Firefox loader hardening

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If the ld cache configuration is wrong, the correct shared objects
  contained in the package are never found or wrong versions being
  picked up.

  Example:

  libnss3 is defined by a quite a few packages including Thunderbird, libnss3 
and Firefox.
  Depending on the particular linker cache config, the wrong version may be 
picked up.

  Mitigation: enhance /usr/bin/firefox to explicitely include the
  correct path of its shared objects in the loader path (cf. attached
  patch).
