Yes, I first expected it to be an firefox bug, so I filed the bug there.
After I found out that the ff source didn't contain that error message,
I had I look elsewhere and learned that it's produced by an Gentoo 
specific script coming from another package. So I filed the bug there.

BTW: what do you exactly mean with "made a big fuss" ?

Yes, because certain (responsible) people directly expressed it to me,
again (as usual).

That's far, far away from my problem. I do not need any new profile, 
and the profile is okay. The symlinks have to be there, explicitly.
Firefox does not have any slightest problem with that. (why should it ?)
It's Gentoo's "mozilla-launcher", which introduces that problem.

And then ? 
Hope that mozilla-launcher gets repaired by itself ?

Do I have permission for that ? That's new to me.

Isn't it exactly the job of the bugwranglers to delegate bugs to the
responsible persons ? 

Sometimes it seems, certain wranglers are for killing bugs of specific 
persons ;-O

Yeah, I already know you don't like me. I dont care.
