Hi,
it seems that firefox has decided not to launch [1] when started from a
gnome-shell desktop file anymore. Obviously, to make it more fun, when I do:
$ killall firefox
$ firefox
from gnome-terminal, everything is dandy, making it really fun to debug.

[rant] Seriously, why does such basic functionality keep breaking every
release? I like Fedora, but at some point I'm just not gonna be able to
put up with this c**p anymore. It ceases to be fun when I have to spend
more time fixing stuff which breaks than I spend doing useful work.[/rant]

Julian
