  Firefox's "Australis" can best be described as "the systemd of GUI's".
It's what drove me away from Firefox to Pale moon, in the first place,
and I'm not going back.

  I understand that Anthony is frustrated with uclibc, and is working on
replacing it with the uclibc-ng fork in the uclibc stage 3.  I've run
into other issues, besides gstreamer, in uclibc.  Hopefully, uclibc-ng
will have fewer issues.  For now, I'll simply wait until the uclibc-ng
stage 3 comes out.
