Description ferret 2009-08-31 19:14:18 UTC

Currently the mozilla-firefox ebuilds install a wrapper script for /usr/bin/firefox replacing the symlink that ''make install'' gives you.  It sets LD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD to contain /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox.

Since xulrunner is always built externally as of 3.5, this is pointless, as there aren't even any .so files in that location any more.
