------- Comment #11 from roland.mainz at nrubsig.org  2008-07-22 06:41 PDT

I did some investigation and looked at the Linux packages (SuSE, Ubuntu,
Debian, RedHat, Mandrake) to figure out why /bin/sh is a POSIX shell (e.g.
"bash" in POSIX mode or "dash") but doesn't hit the problem. After some
searching I realised that:
1. The script works when running as /usr/bin/firefox
2. /bin/ and /usr/bin are different directiries with different content on Linux
3. Linux distributions install this stuff in /usr/bin/ and not /bin/

... so technicially we have a Solaris-specific problem caused by switching
/usr/bin/sh from original Bourne to a POSIX-conformant shell... ;-(

As solution I'd propose to apply the proposed patch from comment #10 and push
this fix upstrean (mozilla.org), too...

Ginn: Is that OK for you ?
