271639 - Some system directories may need to be checked for short path names

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Depending on the way Mozilla is invoked the .exe path returned by
GetModuleFileName may include short and/or long path names. This confuses the
searchplugin system as per bug 187293 comment 22.

So is this an nsLocalFileWin issue, then?

Well I doubt you want the overhead of checking every single path name to make
sure it's a long path name, but at one point the system directory code used to
uppercase the path name presumably to reduce the chance of conflicts.

I'm pretty sure we fixed this by normalizing the launch path. I don't have the changeset in-hand, but I'm going to resolve this WFM; reopen if necessary.
