Description Oleg Ivanov 2005-07-23 04:39:23 UTC 
Ebuilds for mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.6 and mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.6 contains
the following line in pkg_preinst():
        export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=${ROOT}/opt/firefox
        rm -rf "${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME}"
It leads to removing of one package when another one is emerged. For example if
one has mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.6 installed and emerges
mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.6 it deletes /opt/firefox directory and kills emerged
thunderbird app.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mozilla-firefox-bin
2. emerge mozilla-thunderbird-bin
3. /usr/bin/firefox-bin

Actual Results:  
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: can't find the browser :-(

Expected Results:  
launch the Firefox browser
