Hi,

I could look at removing the global mozilla flag and using it only
on certain apps, but really I'm wondering why Unison didn't accept
Firefox as a browser and wondering if the ebuild for it, or more
likely evolution-data-server, could be improved in that area.
I don't know what unison is, but in most cases you can't just swap out firefox
for mozilla.
Firefox is a web browser.
Mozilla is a web browser (with email client, etc) plus a sofware development
kit and relevant development libraries.
So even though you are asking "Why does it need mozilla? I have firefox, won't
that do?", the answer (in the usual scenarios) is no, as they are very
different packages and firefox does not provide a lot of stuff which mozilla does.
Hopefully in the future, mozilla will split out the SDK/libraries into a
seperate package so that you don't have to install the mozilla
webbrowser/emailer/etc.
