Public bug reported:
Firefox contains its own copy of sqlite which is updated in regular
updates. Currently, libunity-webapps links against the system libsqlite
causing 2 copies of it to be mapped in to memory at the same time. This
results in symbol collisions and probably only currently works because
the wind is blowing in the right direction. As the copy of sqlite
shipped with Firefox changes in regular updates, this is likely to go
wrong at some point in a future update.
