Unfortunately even with the final 3.0 version (firefox-3.0-2.el5) autoconfig is broken. Looks like there are some issues with the use of xulrunner. I needed to create a link /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/defaults/autoconfig -> /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/defaults/autoconfig/ to get autoconfig working. Firefox wrongly assumes some files in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/defaults/autoconfig which are in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/defaults/autoconfig/ instead. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Actually this got fixed quite some time ago, for example try running: rpm -qlv firefox | grep -i autoconfig on the current firefox-3.0.5-1.el5_2 version. You should see /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/defaults/autoconfig showing as a symlink to /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/defaults/autoconfig (modulo %{_libdir} differences etc...) Alan, could you still reproduce it with updated firefox? firefox has been rebased several times since this bug was filed and I haven't seen any recurrence of the problem. This bug should probably be closed. See comment 10... IMHO it got fixed years ago. I suppose it might come back one day but... Closing based on comment #10 and comment #15. |
