When I download the nightly build and unpack it as root in a nightly script, a non-root user cannot run mozilla properly before root has done so. When the non-root user runs mozilla it stops before the line Setting content window Mozilla does not stop and has to be ctrl-c'd or killed. When root runs mozilla a diff on a has-run and has-not-run directory of the same build gives: Only in mozilla/chrome: all-locales.rdf Only in mozilla/chrome: all-packages.rdf Only in mozilla/chrome: all-skins.rdf Only in mozilla/chrome: overlayinfo Binary files mozilla/component.reg and package/component.reg differ This seems strange, because I don't think stuff should be changed in this dir: config stuff should go in the user dir.

There will be a relase-note about the phenomena. (overlayinfo is a directory btw.) And this is a dup - of mostfreq bug 42184 "Mozilla-bin must not write to bin dir during installation" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42184 ***

Verfied dupe of 42184.
