CentOS - Oct 2014 - cr repo firefox el6.6 crashes on 6.5

Noticed firefox is one of the only critical sec. updates from 6.6. So I
manually downloaded the rpm from cr repo and rpm -Uvh
firefox-31.2.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm

but it crashes with

/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_window_get_visual

Hi,

See:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.6_Release_Notes/bh-chap-desktop_and_graphics.html

You will need to install the new gdk-pixbuf2 package(s). I have the full
CR repo running on 6.5 and have had no issues with Firefox 31.2.

Regards

Phil
