Looks like you've got an old libnspr4 (mozilla portable runtime libs)
that was built against the old M18 dev tree. You could try either
removing libnspr4 or grabbing the latest libnspr4 and mozilla from
ximian via ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-gnome/deb.... Ximian is the only
one I know of who packages libnspr4 separately from the mozilla package
most rpm packages include libnspr4 with moz....
Hope that helps...
