Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

During the first run, i see a save-as dialog.  The application wants to save "xulrunner.exe" from \bin\xulrunner.exe.

Does this happen in the emulator too? I don't see it in mine. Are you launching from fennec.exe?

Comment 2

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

yes, i am launch from fennec.exe on the device.  It only happens on the first run. (that is, i deleted my profile, and reran fennec)

The command lines that xulrunner.exe sees are:


 \bin\xulrunner\xulrunner.exe  \bin\application.ini 
 \bin\xulrunner\xulrunner.exe  \bin\xulrunner\xulrunner.exe

That second one looks wrong :)

okay, found the problem.  I fixed it in our patch queue and updated the related bug 465874.

What was happening was that we would call CreateProcessW with an image name of:

"\bin\xulrunner\xulrunner.exe"

and a command line of:

\bin\xulrunner\xulrunner.exe -env a=b|c=d

with the patch in 465874, this dialog no longer comes up.
For reasons that baffle me, windows mobile doesn't see that the image name and the first part of the command line are the same.

heh, I don't see this for the last few months of testing
