Hi Laurent, The problem that you seem to be running into is the fact that application bundles (Firefox) and framework bundles (xulrunner) differ in their file organization [1]. They used to be identical prior to Firefox 34, but as you can see in the bugs that you referenced, a change to the structure of the Firefox application bundle became necessary to support Apple's v2 signatures. Prior to Firefox 34, all files were expected to be in Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS. This flat structure (all files in the same directory) is the structure that is still expected by framework bundles. In Firefox 34, the structure changed to the following:
1. Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS: Compiled code such as executables (firefox), dynamic libraries (*.dylib), additional .app bundles (crashreporter.app) 2. Firefox.app/Contents/Resources: Any non-compiled code (dependentlibs.list, any scripts etc.) If running SlimerJS via xulrunner is a mode that you want to keep supporting (running it via the firefox binary seems to be working fine), it may be necessary to write a patch to support both flat structures (for framework bundles) and the more complex structure (for application bundles). -Stephen [1] https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/BundleTypes/BundleTypes.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000123i-CH101-SW1 On 2/22/15 9:52 AM, laurentj wrote: > Hi, > > Since Gecko 34, there are some changes in how Firefox is bundled for > MacOS: > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046906 > http://hearsum.ca/blog/upcoming-changes-to-mac-package-layout-signing.html > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047584 > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1050944 > > The result is that XulRunner does not work anymore on MacosX, we have > an error "Couldn't load XPCOM": > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105044 > > And so my project, SlimerJS, doesn't work anymore. > > This bug has been closed as "Invalid" (???).
