Hi! After following the instructions on: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1 shows this instead of starting up with the new preferences: " Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator " This relates to the upstream bug report at: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427927 Specifically, linking as follows: ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/defaults/autoconfig /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults/autoconfig solves the problem. I think the ebuild needs to do this.
