Description Grant Gayed CLA 2011-04-29 09:33:07 EDT 
In bug 343979 the launcher set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to /usr/lib/seamonkey, which was linked on the OS to a seamonkey-2.x installaton, which is not supported.  A change was made to the launcher in 3.6.2 to be more discerning about setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME based on the presence of a version number in the directory name (ie.- seamonkey-1* is acceptable, seamonkey-2* is not).  It's no longer safe to assume that a name without a version identifer (eg.- /usr/lib/seamonkey) will point at a supported renderer.

Andrew can you recompile the launcher for us with this change?  It affects all Linux and Solaris.
