Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
This is very similar to #561124 - LD_LIBRARY_PATH breaks icedtea plugin. However, the fix suggested there will only deal with the Java plugin, not Java Webstart which is launched as a separate helper application. I therefore filed a new bug - I hope that was the right thing to do. As far as I can see, there is no reason for helper applications launched from Firefox to be given a special LD_LIBRARY_PATH - I'd expect them to run the same way if launched from FF or directly from the menu. For symptoms of this bug see #561124 - the errors are the same. Seems to me the only genuine fix for this would be to re-link firefox either to use the system libs or to rename the private libraries so there is no name conflict.
