I helped Brendon find the problem in irc, it was due to Gtk2::MozEmbed
being compiled with the package firefox-dev and not libxul-dev on ubuntu
gutsy.

With the previous ubuntu version (feisty) it worked with firefox-dev but
only if the firefox path was in either /etc/ld.so.conf or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Without it it would segfault.


And by the way, with xulrunner-1.9 (default for the future ubuntu
hardy), Gtk2::MozEmbed doesn't find the mozembed libraries.
It would be nice if it could be fixed. These pages may help :

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XulrunnerGecko

And about fixing Gtk2::MozEmbed, a mostly the man page
Gtk2::MozEmbed::index.3pm generated by the compilation is mostly
empty/useless and its NAME line generate this warning by lintian :
N:   Each manual page should start with a `NAME' section, which lists
the
N:   name and a brief description of the page seperated by '\-'.

the '-' is missing.
