I would like to expand on one of the comment mentioned by this bug's author:
"there's no "exec" and bash isn't clever enough to optimize it, leaving an extra "bash /usr/local/bin/firefox" running for the entire firefox session." Not only it leaves extra bash running it also breaks any scripts that start and kill firefox - because now they issue signal to bash, bash dies, firefox continues to run. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1719134 Title: Shouldn't create /usr/local/bin/firefox and thunderbird To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-mate-settings/+bug/1719134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
