Under fedora-10 Linux, firefox-17.0.1 worked well. After upgrading to firefox-18.0 (and also after installing later versions of firefox) when firefox attempts to start, it crashes with the error messages:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/firefox.18.0/libxpcom.so Undefined symbol NS_CycleCollectorSuspect2_P Couldn't load XPCOM
