Re: --disable mozilla necessary for Ubuntu

Agreed that it should just be disabled by default. I'm sure that this has
been reported before but I had to dig around for quite awhile to find a
solution to the issue when autogen failed. I'll reconfigure today at work
and show the actual error but from what I understand, enabled mozilla will
not work in Ubuntu (or my distro which is based on Ubuntu, Bodhi) or any
other Ubuntu derivative. It may be a problem for Debian as well but I can't
vouch for that one.

I'd like to see a patch, someone want me to open up a bug report?
