[Bug 1469089] Re: libxul.so cannot open shared object file

 

I am having a similar problem.  The savdctl disable worked.  This however disables sophos anti-virus.
Is someone contacting sophos? Running without an active 'av' is a bad idea.

Thanks

Title:
  libxul.so cannot open shared object file

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using firefox on ubuntu 12.04 and the current installed binary is
  firefox_38.0+build3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb. STarting firefox from
  the dash fails and I get the error message:

  XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
  /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: Timer expired
  Couldn't load XPCOM.

  when attempting to start from the command line. I have not done
  anything recently other than run apt-get dist-upgrade and do not know
  what could be causing this.
