Let me propose a fix. We remove the gre.conf file from the firefox package and explicitly set GRE_PATH in the firefox calling shell in a manner similar to how MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable is set. If you need me to provide a patch to do this, I'll need a couple of days to find the couple of minutes to poke at the package and reuse the directory versioning trick that is already being used for MOZ_FIVE_HOME setting logic. -jef
I know about this problem. Unfortunately, /etc/gre.d/gre(64).conf is read by gtkmozembed application what are not linked directly to gecko-libs (like a python wrapper). Recently, gecko-libs are provided by two packages (firefox and xulrunner) so that who packages conflict and you have to choose what gecko-libs you want to use. When all packages are moved to xulrunner, /etc/gre.d/gre(64).conf will be provided only by xulrunner.
/etc/gre.d/gre(64).conf is removed from firefox-2_0_0_10-2_fc9.
