Problem running Vuze

$

I've just switched to Pinguy today. Install was easy generally successful. The only problem I have is I can't get Vuze (downloaded through Synaptic Package Manager) to work properly. It opens OK and if I find the address for torrents and paste them in they open successfully, but Vuze crashes if I use it's search function. Next time I open it there is a message stating that Vuze didn't shut down tidily.

I had a look online and learned that there are sometimes conflicts with later versions of Firefox (FF4 and beyond). If I understood correctly, Firefox uses XULRunner 2.0 and Vuze uses XULRunner1.9.2.
I thought I could download XULRunner192 via Synaptic but it appears to be no longer supported. I lack the knowledge to know how to download and install XULRunner manually.
I uninstalled Firefox, using Synaptic, and installed Opera instead, but the problem remains.

I am a newbie but happy to do the work and read around if someone points me in the right direction. Also happy to post error logs etc if that helps.
Can anyone help please?
