270365 - --with-user-appdir not being used/not working

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041117 Firefox/0.9.1+

--with-user-appdir= is not working. The dir is created, but not used. .mozilla
is used.

With a current trunk I think I found one problem with lxr:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/app/Makefile.in#227
That line should be using $(MOZ_USER_DIR).

That does not fix it though. The MOZ_USER_DIR dir is created but not used.

The problem is not with configure. mozilla-config.h shows define with the dir I set.

Reproducible: Always

--with-user-appdir is not a Firefox configure option, it is only useful for the
Mozilla suite. To change the profile directory for toolkit apps, change the
nsXULAppAPI struct passed to xre_main:
