Of course, but I wanted to avoid more ifdefs. The application runs on Solaris x86, sparc, OS X,
Windows and Linux32/64... so, I'm trying to avoid platform specific code.

In any case, the var creating havoc for firefox was MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME. From yesterday to today I've
changed my binary-compatibility approach, so this is no longer an issue.
