Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 rransom]:
 > But Firefox crashed on startup when started by Vidalia, while trying to
 load `skypebuttons.so` (part of Kopete, according to the user's system
 Firefox).

 When started with the following command, Firefox ran successfully.
 {{{
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="`pwd`/App/Firefox" ./App/Firefox/firefox-bin -no-remote
 -profile ./Data/profile
 }}}
 Apparently Firefox is crashing because `skypebuttons.so` is incompatible
 with the version of Qt we ship in TBB.

 But we need to make Firefox not even try to load that plugin anyway.
