[Bug 217812] Re: [HARDY] binary components provided by extensions not loaded
I've just installed the update for libnspr4-0d (4.7.1+1.9-ubuntu0.8.04.5) and everything is working fine now. It might be necessary to delete compreg.dat and xpti.dat from the used Fx profile to (re)register the component(s). -- [HARDY] binary components provided by extensions not loaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 217812] Re: [HARDY] binary components provided by extensions not loaded
I've just done a fresh Ubuntu 8.04.1 installation. After installing all distro-updates and starting Fx 3.0.1 and installing an extension with a binary component, the component was _not_ loaded. After installing libnspr4-dev and deleting compreg.dat and xpti.dat from the Fx profile the component was loaded and is working as expected. Using a fresh Fx profile (libnspr4-dev already installed) and installing an extension with binary component(s) _without_ deleting the two files is also working. -- [HARDY] binary components provided by extensions not loaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think in ffox 3 the old libc argument isnt true anymore. so lets work on what is rest. could you please test the nss/nspr packages that are in hardy-proposed and see if they help you to install extensions with binary components that were compiled against upstream ffox/xul.

[Bug 217812] Re: [HARDY] binary components provided by extensions not loaded
I created my own binary component that runs well in FF3 on other Linux distributions. In Ubuntu it is a bit tricky for me to use my binary extension. If I start Firefox directly it fails. But if I start Firefox via Thunderbird (click on a link in an email) my extensions works well. I think it is the xulrunner. Ubuntus Firefox is build on xulrunner and does not provide the xpcom library to the extension. When Firefox is started through Thunderbird, which uses the xpcom lib, that the library is available for the binary extension and everything works well in my case. -- [HARDY] binary components provided by extensions not loaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That means that the Ubuntu maintainers of Thunderbird and Firefox have different build strategies. The Thunderbird strategy is better in my opinion, because it allows third party components. The work around, to start the Firefox from the Thunderbird makes another library available. That shows the different dependencies of Thunderbird and Firefox in the Ubuntu build. All third party components are normally build to work in the official Mozilla releases. Firefox and Thunderbird have no xulrunner dependency in that case. In Ubuntu the firefox-3.0 has a dependency on xulrunner-1.9. thunderbird has not.
