That isn't a tutorial, just an advice about a problem with monodevelop 2.4 runing on Mint Julia and others distros and how to survive.

Everything works fine, but one day, when you click the MonoDevelop Icon, and error message appear

"WARNING: Cannot find Mozilla directory containing libgtkembedmoz.so. Some Addins may not be able to function. Please set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to your Mozilla directory."

I've noticed that about 6 month ago, but nobody gave a solution .. till now.

Well, you can fix this error message following the instructions in this link

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monodevelop/+bug/212467

But this, just fix the message error, the next you can see is the MonoDevelop Logo on screen and how your CPU and RAM are ate for the application.

The solution for now, is launch MonoDevelop thow the terminal without logo. How can I do that ? On this way.

1) Open a terminal.

2) Write this

     monodevelop -nologo     <ENTER>

And thats all !!! Yes yes, isn't the most elegant way to fix, just a way to still swimming.

Sorry for my English, I'm trying.
