[arch-general] Firefox Fullscreen Fix

Hello,

With the latest Firefox (3.5) with closed Nvidia drivers providing
libGL, Firefox (or something) segfaults whenever you try to fullscreen
a flash video (try youtube).

Searching around, I've found a fix: simply export this in your environment:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1

You can just put this in your zsh/bash/whatever profile/config, or
make a wrapper script for firefox or something.

I'm contemplating filing a bug with us. Do you guys think it's worth
doing? Is it with us?

Cheers,

-Andrei "Garoth" Thorp
