User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827

I am using MozillaFirebird for solaris2.7 (I thought) on a sun ultra10. A
coworker is using the same setup with no problems. The issue is that 
it looks like Firebird is cutting off the last letter of any file-related
listing or saving, including certs w/the TTLO extension. Very similar to bug #
170316 except that I am not using any language pack, program is set to US
English. When I start MozillaFirebird it ALWAYS asks me to create a new profile,
because when I select an existing one I get "MozillaFirebird cannot use the
profile "<profilename>" because the directory containing the profile cannot be
found." Then I go to create a new one and it suggests "~/.phoeni/Default Use"
and sadly I found directories labeled ".phoeni" AND ".phoen" in my home
directory (in addition to the expected ".phoenix"). This is pretty frustrating
because otherwise, I am really pleased with the functionality of Firebird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start MozillaFirebird
2.Try to use an existing profile and be denied, create a new profile each time
you start the program just so you can actually get to the browser window
3.Go try to 'Open File'. Options in the 'Look In" field are: /loca, /local/hom,
/local/home/pe (instead of actual username "pete"). It also says I do not have
the permissions necessary to display this directory (the "/local/home/pe"
permutation of my own home directory)

Actual Results:  
once I create a new profile I can get into the program. But I do have to do this
EVERY time I open Firebird.


I have just installed MozillaFirebird yesterday on my Sun Ultra10, using what
was labeled as "MozillaFirebird-sparc-sun-solaris2.7-static.tar.gz". did not
compile,

See bug 221015. I just had the same problem and was able to resolve it with a
sun patch.

solaris patch 112689-02 (UTF-8 locale ICONV patch) suggested in bug report
221015 did solve the problem! 

FYI, patch was found at: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/sunos-patches/sol7/

Thanks! :)

BTW: Read http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209048#c59 how to solve
the problem (AFAIK this is a DUPlicate of bug 209048).
