[gentoo-user] Openoffice 2.3.0 compile error - Firefox

[gentoo-user] bookmarks invisible in Firefox fullscreen
When the bookmarks list is longer than what fits vertically on the screen, then hitting Alt+B while Firefox is in fullscreen mode won't show the list of bookmarks. The bookmark list is there -- because it is possible to select for example the last entry with Up and Enter -- but it is invisible. (When not in fullscreen mode, such an overlong bookmarks list shows tiny arrows at top and bottom and will scroll as needed.) Is this invisibility just a local phenomenon, or are others seeing this too? This is about Firefox-2.0.0.*. It is not the menu-killing bug of 1.* -- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318410 and friends. Benno -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] etiquette for stabilization request
I am running firefox-24.8.0, which is highest stable (highest testing is 33.0). Several sites, in particular mail.google.com, report that This version of Firefox is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser. Does that warrant a stabilization request. I have never filed one before and do not have a feeling of what is considered justification. I should add that other than generating the above complaints, firefox is working fine (including with mail.google.com). thanks, allan

It didn't help me :( still crash soemtimes on flash movies. Sometimes it works, but others it just locks firefox up, only way out of it is to kill it and remove flash. Annoying, but not the end of the world. kill all apps which use your OSS audio device /dev/dsp. I guess some soundserver is blocking it and firefox simply waits for the device to be freed. If this helps then ensure to have a recent ALSA version which does softwaremixing by default and ask the firefox developers to switch from OSS to ALSA.

Re: [gentoo-user] no sound when playing flash
On 15:22 Tue 28 Feb , Zac Slade wrote: Or as I found there are alternatives here, try launching firefox with artsdsp firefox, or alternatively aoss firefox. This will play all sound through a muxer and will allow it to play nice even on machines without hardware mixing. So to recap, you don't need esd anymore, just working OSS (ALSA provides OSS compatibility). If you are having trouble with it playing while other things are playing sound try using aoss or artsdsp to mux the sounds for you (or esd if you like). aoss firefox works, and I've changed line 454 of /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher to aoss $mozbin $@ which will hopefully do the same thing -- djm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is Firefox in /var/lib/portage/world? If not, do you intend Firefox to be a dependency? The only legitimate behavior I see is that Firefox is a dependency for a package that is not part of your world.

I did a bit of googling and I found this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228283 where the final comment says that OOo 2.4.x and firefox 3 are not compatible. The bug is signed as INVALID. What does it mean? Aren't they really compatible? And why? m. I can't answer your last question but give you an advice how to handle the ff upgrade.

Re: [gentoo-user] trying to run firefox
Yo, Did you attempt a revdep-rebuild ? Sincerely, Jil Chuck Robey a écrit : I just did a emerge --update of firefox, and while that seemed to emerge with no errors, when I tried to run it, it tells me it can't load the XRE functions. This doesn't mean anything to me; does anyone know what that refers to, and how I might clear it up? BTW, the earlier version I'd had in, of portage's firefox, worked fine. I CAN say that, just previous to trying the update of firefox, I updated my gnome. That required a great deal of installation of dependencies (probably more, all told, that 100 packages) but worked fine and executes fine. However, perhaps some part of that is what hid my XRE functions?
