Description Kelly Price 2014-04-05 13:35:56 UTC 
Emerging www-client/firefox-bin-28.0-r1 will produce a Firefox install that reports "Failed to read configuration file." before gracefully crashing out.

This was traced down (in the URL) to /opt/firefox/all-gentoo.js missing a ");" on a defaultPref line.  Simple fix.  I've verified this fix myself (being afflicted with the problem).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge www-client/firefox-bin
2. Launch Firefox
3. See error on screen
Actual Results:  
A dialog box popping up saying "Failed to read configuration file."  No browser launch.

Expected Results:  
Browser is launched and shows on screen.

I have not dug further down to where it needs to be applied to, but a bug wasn't found for this specific problem (thus me filing it).
