[Solved] Firefox ERROR.LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library

Hi,
I have an error during the execution of Firefox. I obtain this output:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.so [libavutil.so.49: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libmoonplugin.so [libavutil.so.49: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
Unable to load the real plugin libavutil.so.49: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.so [libavutil.so.49: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libmoonplugin.so [

Then firefox always crashes and a Segmentation Fault is returned. The program is completely unusable!
From output i see that there is a problem with "libavutil.so.49". But in my system there are only this files:
/usr/lib/libavutil.so
/usr/lib/libavutil.so.50
/usr/lib/libavutil.so.50.32.6

I don't know if this is only a compatibility problem or what else..Have you some ideas?
Thank you,
Mauri.

PS: Sorry in advance if this is not the right section but i did not find a Software section

I have removed the moonlight plugin that seems to be the reason of the error messages..but firefox crashes anyway!
So i removed it completely and i have reinstalled from repository without any kind of add-on plugin etc..
but now firefox doesn't start and returns Segmentation Fault at startup!

Solved!
Under preferences "GTK Styles and Fonts" I've disable "Use KDE style in GTK application" and firefox seems to work!
