Howdy,

The problem was that starting Firefox 3.6 with certain
addons installed was not possible. Now it looks like all
problems are solved and we can start a CFT.
If everything works fine we plan to commit Firefox 3.6 next
weekend. We should also note that the java plugin currently
does not work with 3.6.
Thanks for fixing it and porting it over, it works great so far!
I had to adjust the weave port a bit as it seems that the location of the idl
files has changed. The former path was /usr/local/share/idl/firefox3/stable
and /usr/local/share/idl/firefox3/unstable which now just seems to be
/usr/local/share/idl/firefox3. I'll append a simple diff if someone is
interested.

Here is the mozilla ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530793 Aha, und das alles klappte dei dem www/firefox3-devel bisher nicht? Krass. Ma gut, das ich nie Addonns verwende ;-) [...] Do you also use no plugins? :) And yes, www/firefox3-devel was affected too (that was in fact the version where I first discovered the bug, just took me a `little' longer to find the actual cause because I wasn't familiar with the code at all...)

This is a blocker for me. What is involved in building a java plugin to suit the new FF36 interface? Please let me know if there's anything I can do to assist the effort. Well, I don't believe the java plugin works with Firefox 3.5, so this isn't a new development. I haven't looked into this enough recently but I would suggest there are two promising options. If Sun is including a FF 3.6 compatible plugin with its current jdk16 release then we should grab the newest available jdk16 code and update the jdk16 port with it. Thats not a small piece of work though as the port is languishing at Update 3 and I think Sun is at Update 18. The other option is to port the IcedTea plugin to our openjdk6 port, assuming that is FF 3.6 compatible. That shouldn't be too difficult. -- Greg Lewis Email : gle...@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : gle...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
[CFT] Firefox 3.6 for FreeBSD
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Howdy, We know that a lot people are waiting for Firefox 3.6, but nox@ found a strange bug which is now solved. The problem was that starting Firefox 3.6 with certain addons installed was not possible. Now it looks like all problems are solved and we can start a CFT. If everything works fine we plan to commit Firefox 3.6 next weekend. We should also note that the java plugin currently does not work with 3.6. What's new in Firefox 3.6 * Support for the HTML5 File API * A change to how third-party software integrates with Firefox to increase stability. * The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times. * A mechanism to prevent incompatible software from crashing Firefox. * Users can now change their browser's appearance with a single click, with built in support for Personas. * Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them safe. * Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports poster frames. * Support for the WOFF font format. * Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time. * Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies. Please make sure all your addons are compatible with firefox 3.6, backup your $HOME/.mozilla dir, also you need to reinstall www/linux-f10-flashplugin10. here is the patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/gecko/firefox36.diff A big thanks is going to nox@, Andreas Tobler, Florian Seemts.
