Solaris uses ksh as the default shell, and furthermore bash doesn't seem to support the 'local' keyword feature when invoked as sh on OpenIndiana. We could just change the script to use bash (it is an option even on Solaris), but this fix is available and Mozilla has been using it since Firefox 55 with no issues on any other platforms. It was specfically done this way to avoid any need to change existing mozconfig files, so I feel confident saying the change is totally benign and if anything the way it is now is technically a POSIX compliance issue inherited from Mozilla that we'll hit if we ever try to compile this on any Unix platform where bash isn't sh.
This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a future platform to be used by XUL
applications.
This repository will contain at least one application to demonstrate and make use
of the platform: The Basilisk web browser, a close twin to Mozilla's Firefox.
