It compiled on a 3.1 kernel without patching.
I'd appreciate knowing the instructions you used. I can't do it yet
because I haven't put X on my development system yet.
I'm not the person you replied to, but here are my notes on
Firefox-[78]* anyway...
You must configure cairo with --enable-tee .
If you haven't installed yasm then you must disable webm video.

Guys, just in case you are not aware, we should probably consider using
external npapi. We can of course, fix anything that is using the
incorrect version scheme, but looking to the future, that might be a bit
of work (OpenJDK specifically will be a PITA, don't know about other
open source plug-ins).

I am having problems with Firefox 8 myself.
I've built xulrunner and firefox separately with no problems, but when I
try to execute firefox, it comes back with the following message:
Could not read application.ini
Googling comes up with a lot of hits, but no real solutions.
Strace produces the following:
mmap(0x7f5a2c600000, 1048576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f5a2c600000

write(2, "Could not read application.ini\n", 31Could not read
application.ini
) = 31
exit_group(1)
Not sure why it would be checking /usr/bin/xulrunner/libxpcom.so since
/usr/bin/xulrunner is a symbolic link to a script.
Anyway copying the application.ini file to /usr/bin, just takes it to
the next problem:
Could not find the Mozilla runtime.
It seems to me that it is confusing /usr/lib with /usr/bin ?
The mozconfig I used is pretty much the same as what is current in the
BLFS book with slight alterations.
Any pointers to what the problem might be?
Thanks,
Wayne.
Sounds like you need to put in a symbolic link from /usr/bin/firefox ->
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox or similar, I believe this was missing in 8.0,
but fixed in 8.0.1

I got the same problem. I think it's a mozilla bug.
I'm just compiling xulrunner with the following patch. Be patient or try it
yourself!

I'll be patient, I'm just heading off to work.
BTW, version 8.0.1 did not fix the problem.

Patch not successfull !!! But it gives us some hints!

I first built xulrunner, then firefox, and I used my personal BASH-based
build-scripts. I'll append these scripts.
Examine them.
Next lets futher compare the code of nsXULStub.cpp in 3.6.23 (which works) with
the current 8.0.1 one.
