All Mozilla applications in Ubuntu distro depend on libstdc++6. Ubuntu 
lightning 0.5 depends on it too.
But the lightning 0.7 extension, when you download it from Mozilla webpage is 
compiled to use libstdc++5 (this is partly binary extension, not only XUL). 
This is neither  Ubuntu bug nor Mozillas. Just Ubuntu is "too new" and does not 
include libstdc++5 by default, and Mozilla is "for old ones too", that's why 
they distribute their binaries compiled to use old library :)

But for Ubuntu: maybe it's not bad idea to install some basic libraries
in two versions by default?

Btw: I discovered this when I tried to run SUNBIRD 0.7 from command
line. Then I had a clear message, that I lack libstdc++ library :)
