441990 - Minefield does not start: "Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting."

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[m]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080416 Fedora/2.0.0.14-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1a1pre) Gecko/2008062502 Minefield/3.1a1pre

when I try to start Manfield, I get this error: 

[marek@Mareg ~]$ /opt/Firefox3/firefox
Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting.
[marek@Mareg ~]$

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download latest version of Manfield
2. Unpack it
3. Try to run it as a user
Actual Results:  
Application does not start.

Expected Results:  
Application starts.

I have found similar problem on http://flock.com/node/62541 website and have applied following solution to firefox script:

# Line 60
progname="$0"
# Line 62
progbase=`basename "$progname" | sed -e 's/-browser$//'`
# Line 73
progbase=`basename "$progname" | sed -e 's/-browser$//'`

unfortunately, it solved the problem only for root user, as an user I still get the same message and Manfield does not start.

Hello, do you have this problem with current builds? (Maybe it was only in that nightly?) Thanks.

No problem.

And “FIXED” is for when it is known when or how it was fixed. When it just works now, “WORKSFORME” is used.
