------- 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...
