I stumbled upon an interesting twist here, however. The desktop launcher command was: /usr/bin/firefox, which gave the offending response that XPCOM could not be loaded. I noticed that the command on the browser launcher on the Panel was: /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox and this works just fine. Firefox starts without a problem. While I now have a way to launch Firefox, the question remains, is this XPCOM this an issue that will affect any other applications, or is it now moot?
