Attached patch set MOZ_APP_NAME (deleted) — Splinter Review
It would be nice to be able to set MOZ_APP_NAME in the mozconfig to avoid filesystem collisions. My specific use case is packaging Firefox in an RPM. I have been running a copy of firefox for a long time on my linux machines with this patch and --with-app-name=minefield for a couple weeks with no adverse effects.

Comment on attachment 525742 [details] [diff] [review] set MOZ_APP_NAME Not really sold on the benefits, but I'm not morally opposed to it either.
