1 why is MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME permanently set in gentoo?
2
3 users trying to run gentoo mozilla and ActiveState Komodo cannot because
4 MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is permanently set by gentoo mozilla - this
5 effectively breaks 3rd party / non-gentoo applications based on mozilla
6 (including mozilla.org's binaries)
7
8 why on gentoo is MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME permanently set? this isn't set by
9 for example binaries from mozilla.org, which plays nice with Komodo
10
11 workaround is either:
12
13 simple: unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
14
15 ( can't code and browse web at same time )
16
17 complex: create komodo-specific user without MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME set in
18 ENV, and su to that user to run komodo.
19
20 or just do this:
21
22 % unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME && komodo
