Not sure of the best solution to this, but this snippet from the launcher- case $zero in *fox) export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/MozillaFirefox" remote=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/mozilla-xremote-client mozbin=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/firefox-bin grepfor=Firefox-bin prefs=$HOME/.phoenix ;; Doesn't seem valid for mozilla-firefox-0.8-r3; specifically, no symlinks/bin's were ever created/installed that match firefox-bin.

Which symlink did you have to manually create? Do /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox and /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox-bin exist? Was /usr/bin/firefox created as a symlink when firefox was merged?
Hmm. Odd, re-emerged it, and both firefox and firefox-bin are appropriately symlinked. Closing this, since I'd bet money it's related to my mildly screwed up system :)
Err, clarifying. re-emerged mozilla-firefox, and the symlinks /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox{,-bin} were created. Didn't re-emerge launcher at all.
