Now, can anynoe tell me how to extract the contents of this "magic" file automatically without having to launch mozilla-*?
Why isn't the file simply part of the package? Why gets it created at first launch? Can this beahvior be changed?
Up to now, cmg creation for Mozilla-* applications such as Netscape, Firefox, Firebird, Sunbird and nvu failed because these applications need a writeable directory at first start (I continue to consider this bad design).
After some investigation, I have now found the root cause:
The file firefox/chrome/app-chrome.manifest gets written at first start. If (as in the case of a cmg) this is not writeable, then the launch fails. The workaround for klik is that it needs to create that file (with proper content) before the cmg gets created.
As a proof of concept, I have set up
klik://firefox-nightly - this installs the latest developer build of firefox, which is updated almost every day. The cmg is built "on the fly", using the following as firefox/chrome/app-chrome.manifest
