[Bug 1719134] Re: Shouldn't create /usr/local/bin/firefox and thunderbird

[Christopher A. Chavez]

I encountered this bug while trying to open a local HTML file, and
because of $@ rather than "$@" being used in the wrapper, any spaces in
the filename or path causes multiple tabs to be opened (each with
incomplete portions of the path).

Would it be possible to provide this fix for 17.10?

[kolya]

I would like to expand on one of the comment mentioned by this bug's
author:

"there's no "exec" and bash isn't clever enough to optimize it, leaving
an extra "bash /usr/local/bin/firefox" running for the entire firefox
session."

Not only it leaves extra bash running it also breaks any scripts that
start and kill firefox - because now they issue signal to bash, bash
dies, firefox continues to run.
