Using the Bluejeans plugin on Debian Wheezy

After installing the Bluejeans plugin, I found that I still couldn't use the Bluejeans service. The plugin didn't show up under about:plugins, suggesting a problem with Firefox loading the plugin. In fact, after deleting ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/pluginreg.dat and restarting Firefox from the commandline, I got an error like this:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nprbjnplugin_2.8.115.8.so 
    [/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found 
    (required by /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nprbjnplugin_2.8.115.8.so)]

The Bluejeans plugin is compiled against a later version of glibc than is present in Debian Wheezy. To work around this:
