Hello - I have installed: mozilla-launcher-1.41 mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.6-r1 mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.6-r1 It seems that, when I try to invoke "firefox" or "thunderbird", it only works with whichever was emerged last. So, if I emerged firefox-bin then thunderbird-bin, I can only launch "thunderbird". If I go ahead and re-emerge firefox-bin, I can now launch "firefox" but cannot launch "thunderbird". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge mozilla-launcher, mozilla-firefox-bin, mozilla-thunderbird-bin 2. Try launching "firefox" and "thunderbird" Actual Results: Only one of the programs can be launched. Expected Results: Either program should be launchable.
To clarify, the sort of error message I get is: /usr/bin/firefox: can't find the browser :-( Despite some similarities, I do not believe this is the same as bug 99512.

This looks like 99512 :) Anyway, the problem resides on the ebuild: (mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.6-r1.ebuild) declare MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/firefox They're overwriting each other... it should be: declare MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/thunderbird I think must be an error, i edited the ebuild file mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.6-r1.ebuild changed to /opt/thunderbird and everything worked (ofcourse you have to change md5 checksum on the manifest file too) not quite fine as Thunderbird opens with the Firefox icon, but it works... the new ebuild looks like this (but please not that this souldn't be a final fix): # Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.6-r1.ebuild,v 1.2 2005/0 7/22 20:40:24 agriffis Exp $ inherit eutils mozilla-launcher DESCRIPTION="The Mozilla Thunderbird Mail & News Reader" SRC_URI="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/${PV}/linux-i686/en-US/thunderbird-${PV}.tar.gz" HOMEPAGE="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird" RESTRICT="nostrip" KEYWORDS="-* amd64 x86" SLOT="0" LICENSE="MPL-1.1 NPL-1.1" IUSE="" DEPEND="virtual/libc" RDEPEND="virtual/x11 x86?

Ok, looks like it may be just the typo i poined out in the previous comment... I did changes stated earlier, then: emerge -C mozilla-thunderbird-bin emerge mozilla-thunderbird-bin and it all worked just fine (back to the thunderbird icon =) So, you can now fix this =)
fixed in tree
