Description Wendall Cada 2004-11-16 15:58:15 UTC 
With each update of mozilla-launcher, I have to edit /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher and change newtype=${MOZILLA_NEWTYPE:-"window"} to newtype=${MOZILLA_NEWTYPE:-"tab"} since I prefer this behaviour. It would be nice if this were in a config that gets updated via etc-update.

Put in your .bash_profile:

export MOZILLA_NEWTYPE=tab

man bash and search for :-

Sorry, but even the bash profile entry needs to be added by the ebuild if this is your prefered way of doing things. etc-update needs to be able to handle settings changed by ebuild updates. This is an area that this ebuild fails in, needs to be fixed.

Comment 3 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-19 09:26:27 UTC 
Absolutely not.  Ebuilds don't touch user home directories.  Set it once in your personal .bash_profile and there's nothing to update.
