Thanks for the thoughts (I regard this as a *serious* problem) - but the patch (originally from fedora and also used at Arch) is no longer applied by them - it used to fix gtk+-3.20 changes, now a version is upstream. My newest system is still 3.10 (I've got a newer LFS build, but I was expecting a new version of xorg-server would be coming soon (and I saw a comment the other month suggesting there is a new variant of one of the libs - I forget the details, but it looked like a new lib we don't use, possibly something like fonts2), so I've been deferring the xorg build. On 7.10 with recent sqlite, nspr, nss it seems fine. But I'm still on gtk+-3.20 and the old glib. Which is your default engine for the Search field ? Mine is wikipedia. You say you have ff-48.0.2 working on the same build - is that a typo ? I only see 48.0 in the releases. How about 49.0 ? ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
