The problem is that each version of Mozilla/Firefox uses a different installation prefix. For Firefox 1.5.0.7 this is /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7 When a application links with some Mozilla/Firefox library the full path gets saved in the final executable. If a new firefox release appears, the application still tries to search the Mozilla/Firefox library in the old directory instead of the new firefox prefix. So a rebuild (or a LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack) is necessary for the application to become operational again. So the question for this case should be if this isn't a firefox packaging bug instead of a liferea bug as this problem applies to other programs as well (epiphany for example).
