I am experiencing the same exact problem in Intrepid.
Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
Firefox 3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
The problem seems to be related to the fact that the firefox binary in
ubuntu doesn't interpret the command line parameter --app but the
typical prism launcher uses it.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox --help
Usage: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox [ options ... ] [URL]
where options include:
X11 options
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
--sync Make X calls synchronous
--no-xshm Don't use X shared memory extension
--xim-preedit=STYLE
--xim-status=STYLE
--g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal
Mozilla options
-height <value> Set height of startup window to <value>.
-h or -help Print this message.
-width <value> Set width of startup window to <value>.
-v or -version Print Firefox version.
-P <profile> Start with <profile>.
-ProfileManager Start with ProfileManager.
-no-remote Open new instance, not a new window in running
instance.
-UILocale <locale> Start with <locale> resources as UI
Locale.
-safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session.
-jsconsole Open the Error console.
No --app there. But if you look at the launcher:
"/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox" -app
"/home/olivier/.mozilla/firefox/<censored>/extensions/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/prism/application.ini" -override "/home/olivier/.webapps/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/override.ini" -webapp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Workaround:
xulrunner does take the --app parameter so I changed the
"/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox" from the launcher to /usr/bin/xulrunner and it
worked! Yay!
Now, why is ubuntu's firefox not taking --app?
