But I vaguely recall a few years (is it so long already?) when the html5 thing was starting there was a bug in mozilla's bugzilla to allow use of system libvorbis (or maybe some other html5 video related one) with the same reaction, but after all, it might be the same person... Anyway, don't feel any weight in my statement, it's just remnants of past frustration with having to use rpath for mozplugins (and thus rebuild for every firefox release, even though the api/abi remained same) softly reinforced by the fact that now you don't need rpath, but unless someone announces API/ABI changes, you'll notice them only after someone fills a bug that your plugin does not work (yes, this is precisely the kind of thing that could be caught by usual dependency check if mozilla used properly versioned libraries...) Plus, I believe I said it a few months (maybe years) back, but I don't like that mozilla decided to use the codecs directly (instead of using platform dependent framework like gstreamer), not to mention they bundle their own patched versions... </slight rant> Anyway, I hope you manage to solve this problem soon :) Martin
