Well, what I actually did was have firefox itself set the default
browser to be itself. *IT* was the one that went out and told
things to look for "MozillaFirefox" (ditto "thunderbird").
Here is a suggestion for what to do whenever you change the way
something works:
PROVIDE SOME AUTOMATIC COMPATIBILITY
this can be done in any number of ways:
* a script that auto-edits things
* a compatibility wrapper that emits warnings that get shown
to the hapless user on occasion, but ultimately does the
right thing (e.g. fires up firefox).
* Some testing to ensure that when you tell firefox to make firefox
the default, that it references the correct name.
By the way, I long ago figured out that I cannot preserve my home directory
config files from release to release precisely because of this seemingly
unbounded list of issues that crop up. So, I create my user id anew
and leave the ~/.kde* et al. stuff behind. That is actually not much fun.
It would be much cleaner to have a "migrate-home-config-files" script.
Such a script would have done a ``sed -i s/MozillaFirefox/firefox/''
on everything. Maybe next time.....
