Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2008-12-04 11:01:50 UTC
Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Could we get output of the command

	rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin*

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2008-12-04 11:34:08 UTC
Well, it's simple...run it by /usr/bin/firefox.

Comment 4 Heiko Adams 2008-12-04 17:23:08 UTC
"/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/firefox" is the command which firefox sets when
answering the question for setting FF as default browser with "yes". And this is also the path wich htmlview uses for launching Firefox.

Comment 6 Martin Stransky 2008-12-05 07:36:52 UTC
Aha, we need to fix the default launcher then from /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox or maybe disable the default browser check...

Comment 7 Jan Horak 2008-12-12 13:06:56 UTC
Proposed patch in bug #474461. Function g_find_program_in_path is used to determine right firefox execution script location.

Comment 8 Jan Horak 2008-12-16 07:45:30 UTC
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469648. Closing as upstream.
