Bug#366068: mozilla-firefox script does not work after latest upgrade
Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-1
Severity: important
My toolbar icon for firefox now pops up firefox is running but not
responding. The problem appears to be bad quoting:
MOZ_PROGRAM=${MOZ_PROGRAM} -a '${APPLICATION_ID}'
If I run firefox-bin with -a firefox, it opens a new window. If I run it
with -a \'firefox\', I get the same error. It would be better to stick the
-a ${APPLICATION_ID} on the front of $@ if you're worried about quoting.
Also, the documentation suggests that using new arbitrary application IDs
would work. But it doesn't seem to. That would be useful...
