Hello, Was recently messing around with /root/.bashrc and I think it ruined my firefox. From the applications menu, trying to run Firefox does nothing. Running firefox, firefox -safe-mode, and bash /usr/lib/firefor-bash all produce the following message:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: sqlite3_expanded_sql Couldn't load XPCOM.

Searching around a little, it looks like this was an issue on older versions of Linux, but nothing too recently.

I tried installing/reinstalling firefox and got nothing. I also installed xulrunner and nothing. I installed firefox-esr and that works fine, so I'm happy. Nevertheless, I thought I would post about it.

I ran LD_DEBUG=files firefox > firefox.log 2>&1 and it gave this: (The whole log file couldn't fit but this seems sufficient)
