23 okay thanks, that's starting to make a lot more sense. FYI, the
24 solution of the Komodo dev team is to patch our mozilla to ignore
25 this vars and any other vars mozilla might look at by default. we
26 simply hadn't run into this situation until now, although googling
27 for MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME reveals lots of other grief on mailing lists
28 regarding different versions of mozilla-based software getting
29 generally confused.
