Appdir preferences were not being loaded on elm causing app update xpcshell test errors. I pushed an intermediate fix here, but I'm using this bug to see if we need a better fix. The fix I did can be found here: https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/elm/rev/80b11b866a11

also in this followup changeset: https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/elm/rev/da46872303a6

Comment on attachment 685010 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v1 Bug 810617 is set to fix this in a much better way.

Yeah sorry I should have chatted with you about this in more details. I already went through a bunch of fixes in bug 810617, we settled on the (product)-appdir ini file fix. I'm looking at the remaining failures now.

ok thanks, by the way the changeset contains more than just this so only undo these changes please Jim.

Actually we could have kept this one, I've filed bug 810617 on the xpcshell dir provider issue.
