Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Build Identifier: Even you can configure using --with-user-appdir=somewhere, firefox always uses .mozilla. The ~/somewhere directory is created but files are placed into ~/.mozilla Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.compile using --with-user-appdir=someotherdir 2.run firefox 3. Actual Results: The directory suplied to the arg --with-user-appdir=someotherdir is created but config files (Profiles.ini) are placed into ~/.mozilla Expected Results: Config files should be placed into the directory ~/.someotherdir
We should remove this configure option, it's not something we support.
