Re: Firefox and naming issues



I suspect this is because on both NetBSD and Linux, there is a script
firefox that sets environment variables and runs firefox-bin.  With
the linux binary package, this is simply run under emulation so is
structurally unchanged.  From /usr/pkg/bin/firefox (native):

  #!/bin/sh
  MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/pkg/lib/firefox
  export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
  exec /usr/pkg/lib/firefox/firefox-bin "$@"

So I'd say this is a natural consequence of emulation; if we had
native acrobat and Linux then they'd show up the same.

Perhaps it would be cool if ps had a way to indicate emulation status,
but otherwise I don't see anything wrong.
