Details

There is a startup script in /usr/bin called "mozilla-firefox"
and is the only in standard $PATH so it's the one we are supposed to run.
And there is a little problem with this script:
if you launch firefox, than thunderbird, everything is fine,
if you start thunderbird first, than firefox, firefox fails with "Failed to send command"
If you change the script mozilla-firefox to look like mozilla-thunderbird, everything works fine.
This task depends upon

Dunno if this is still a problem. Dale?

This should be fixed with the 0.9 firefox release and 0.7 thunderbird release.
