407559 - Allow XUL apps launched with Firefox to override name & vendor

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit Graveyard :: XULRunner, defect)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

Attachment: adds support for overriding parts of application.ini when launching a XUL app from Firefox

This is a follow on from bug 404134 which address launching XUL apps from xulrunner and xulrunner-stub. Since Firefox can also launch XUL apps, we should support the override behavior there too.

mfinkle, can we just move the "-override" flag handling into XRE_main, so that all apps get it by default?

Attachment: centralize override handling in XRE_main

This patch centralizes the override handling into XRE_main and removes the override handling added to nsXULStub.cpp and nsXULRunnerApp.cpp that was added in bug 404134.

Hello guys,

There is a problem with application.ini since Firefox/Thunderbird 11 and SeaMonkey 2.8.

Can you read : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723493 and resolve this bug?

I would like to use new versions.
