Issue: Kept getting error message "couldn't load xpcom" on Firefox popup dialog box while trying to run Netflix-Desktop
Solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop/+bug/1265367
*** TEMPORARY WORKAROUND ***
The problem is caused by a change of the default MSVCR library in wine 1.7.9. You can workaround this problem by entering the following command. Just open a terminal and copy&paste the following command (as a regular user, NOT root!):
(echo "REGEDIT4";echo "";echo "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Wine\\DllOverrides]";echo "\"*msvcr100\"=\"builtin\"";) > "/tmp/winefix.reg";WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-browser /opt/wine-compholio/bin/wine regedit "/tmp/winefix.reg"
After this it should work again. We'll push out a new netflix-desktop version soon which contains the fix above.
