This one is related to the decision of Debian/Ubuntu maintainers to 
disable LO's mozilla integration in their distro.
With mozilla disabled the mesage above is the expected behaviour.

As always with open source you have more then one work around here:

1. Compile LO yourself on Debian/Ubuntu. Don't forget to enable mozilla 
as it currently disabled per default.
2. Watch ongoing efforts to provide alternative (not mozilla based) mork 
driver implementation, or ... better help out there ;-)

3. If all above fail for your change your distribution.
