firefox -app ~/foo/application.ini resource://app/ is supposed to point to ~/foo/. Instead, bug 1073095 changed that so that resource://app/ points somewhere else. This is deadly for users using Firefox to run a XULRunner application.
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: resource://app/ is changing away from the application directory for XUL-based apps launched via -app.

Sorry, folks - I had a startup observer which registers resource://gre/browser/chrome.manifest, in order to get tabbrowser support... that registered the offending browser.manifest file. So this is not a Firefox bug, strictly speaking.

Out of interest, does resource:/// still point to ~/foo/ ?
(In reply to neil@parkwaycc.co.uk from comment #3) > Out of interest, does resource:/// still point to ~/foo/ ? Yes.
