Hello, I just installed 6.2 STABLE (june snap), and I'm installing some software I need. I noticed that when installing firefox as a normal user, with sudo (sudo pkg_add -vr firefox) I can run firefox as root, but not as the normal user which ran the above command. It seems like the installation creates an *empty* directory (.mozilla) in the home of the user which ran the pkg_add command. Is it a known behavior? Maybe i should install packages as root, with its environment, but still, I think it is weird that a package would create a directory in the home of the installing user, at installation time. Thanks. -- Jean
