Bug #214262 reported by Fred on 2008-04-08

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Undecided	Unassigned

I have a multimedia keyboard. It has multimedia buttons.

It has a "home" button, when I click on it, before it brought up Mozilla Firefox.

Now, when I click on it, it tells me an error;
* Couldn't execute command: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/firefox ""
* Verify that this is a valid command.

I have Mozilla Firefox 3.0b5 installed.

Using Hardy 8.04 (beta)

You should change the path to execute the command to: /usr/bin/firefox

This is the correct one.. and not the /usr/lib (library).

I am sorry, but I do not know how to change the path.

This does not bother me much, but I hope to see a fix, so this does not happen to other people.

this was fixed quite a while ago by making firefox set /usr/bin/firefox as preferred browser path

Changed in firefox-3.0:
