Yes, -profile will still work, I'd forgotten about that. In that case, please use this then (which means you also don't need to touch profiles.ini, and you don't really need to have the profiles in ~/.mozilla/firefox). Although it's unfortunate that we've ended up with a solution that relies on the use of -no-remote, when the chromeless webapp runtime provided with Firefox doesn't depend on this...
As for copying the extensions folder - this would only work reliably if Firefox isn't running, wouldn't it? (else you could do the copy mid- update, or mid-install). But it's odd that in a "chromeless" mode that the addon manager chrome is still exposed via the menus anyway. With the upstream chromeless runtime, there really is no chrome at all (including addon manager). Because there is no addon manager, they've disabled addon support entirely in their webapp runtime (although we re-enable it in our Ubuntu package for system-wide addons in order to make language packs and the menubar work, and because system-wide addons don't depend on the addon manager chrome. But user-profile addons remain disabled). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040313 Title: [FFE] Update WebApps to support Firefox Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in Firefox extension: Unity Integration: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libunity-webapps” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “firefox” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “libunity-webapps” source package in Quantal: Incomplete Bug description: This FFE corresponds to completing the support for WebApps in Firefox. A Firefox v15 had to be patched in order to support accessing the XID of a given tab window (functionality needed by WebApps). The functionality was added by upstream in v17. This patch also has impacts in the Firefox extension packages associated with WebApps that have to be updated to support both FF 15 and 17 XID retrieval mechanisms. Informations about the Firefox patching efforts: ------------------------------------------------ For the unity webapps firefox extension we need access to the XID of the tab window. A patch has been accepted into Firefox 17 by Mozilla exposing this functionality. We are begging for it to be distro patched into Firefox 15 for quantal.
