So i got the 1.28 and it was opening nytimes.com and it was weird and then I saw 1.29 and got that and it seems to work fine except I get this thing that says 'firefox-bin' in the titlebar and it opens this very small window. It apears after the 2nd window is openend and every subsequent window i open opens another 'firefox-bin' window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mozilla-launcher for 1.29 2. run firefox 3. run firefox again Actual Results: small firefox-bin window opens in addition to browser window Expected Results: no firefox-bin window should open
I can confirm this behavior. The second box for me labels itself "Gecko." So it's a bit strange and it has no function or toolbars to it either.
I can also confirm this behavior. nytimes with 1.28 and now firefox-bin window with 1.29. On my laptop, the little window is titled "Gecko" instead of firefox-bin... Firefox1.0.1 and Firefox1.0.2
Hey guys, it's been a crazy 24 hours in the mozilla camp at Gentoo. I've been testing this but have been unable to reproduce the behavior. I think I'll need some help from you to track it down. Mozilla bug reports tend to get out of control quickly. I'd like you to each make two attachments with some debugging output, i.e. don't paste it into a comment in this bug. :-) Here is what I'd like: 1. Start without firefox running 2. Run the following commands: script typescript-$(whoami) emerge --info equery -C list mozilla firefox http://gentoo.org/ & firefox http://google.com/ export MOZILLA_LAUNCHER=firefox bash -x /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher http://bugs.gentoo.org/ exit 3. Step 2 will create a file called typescript-username. Attach it to this bug using the "Create a New Attachment" link on this page. 4. Run the following command, then create a second attachment to this bug from the output file. xwd -root | convert xwd:- screenshot-$(whoami).png Sorry if these instructions seem elementary, I make no assumptions! :-) Thanks for your help.

Created attachment 54359 [details] Screenshot with little windows
OK i did your steps and attached is typescript-ron, typescript-ron2, and screenshot-ron.png. It seems doing it exactly the way you say, it seems to do it correct and the small window doesnt pop up. But if you dont give it a url, that is when you see the bug. so typescript-ron is with giving the url and typescript-ron2 is without giving the url. So because typescript-ron just does it normally, i dindt' screenshot it but for the ron2 i have a screenshot. Along the same lines, when giving it a url, it opens it in the current window, not a new one. It used to open it in a new window.

Thanks guys, that is a huge help! mozilla-launcher-1.30 is in the tree now. If you want to try it before your local portage mirror gets it, do this: wget -o/dev/null -O- \ http://dev.gentoo.org/~agriffis/dist/mozilla-launcher-1.30.bz2 | \ bzip2 -dc > /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher chmod 0755 /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher then it should work for you. Please re-open this bug if it doesn't, and thanks again!
