It depends on the libs and on the search order of the libs. I'm not =20
talking about application specific libs, but if firefox comes with =20
some libs which belong to the linux_base, it may hurt: If the libs in =20
the firefox port are searched first and if there's a (securiy) bug in =20
them which is fixed in the linux base, firefox would be still =20
vulnerable.
