Firefox versioning problems with developer plugin (was: Developer plugin for Firefox 23 doesn't work)

Hi,

further investigation.

I'm not very qualified to discuss linux library issues, sorry if terms are used in a wrong way.

But from my previous experience and observation of current situation I see situation this way.

I'm trying command  

objdump --dynamic-syms --demangle -w libxul.so | grep NS_GetDebug

to compare dynamic symbol tables for FF versions 22, 23.0 and 23.0.1

All firefox builds are downloaded from Firefox FTP.

FF 22 reports:

0000000000fb339e g    DF .text 0000000000000011  Base        NS_GetDebug

FF 23.0 reports:

000000000102505e g    DF .text 0000000000000011  xul23.0     NS_GetDebug 

FF 23.0.1 reports:

000000000102572e g    DF .text 0000000000000011  xul23.0.1   NS_GetDebug

I don't know a term, but lets call it symbol version, FF 23 and 23.0.1 packaged in Fedora repositories report not xul23.0 (what expects developer plugin) but mozjs.

FF 22 and 23.0 dowloaded from Mozilla works with developer plugin as expected. 

Developer plugin doesn't work with FF 23 from Fedora and FF 23.0.1 from Mozilla.

So far my workaround is to uninstall firefox installed from repositories, download "supported" by developer plugin version of FF from Mozilla FTP:

wget -c ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/23.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-23.0.tar.bz2

tar -xjvf firefox-23.0.tar.bz2

and use it for developement. It works with GWT developer plugin without issues.

G.
