Acc to 'euses bindist' : "www-client/firefox:bindist - Disable official Firefox branding (icons, name) which are not binary-redistributable according to upstream". It doesn't say anything re Aurora/ESR (whatever they are) nor re a developer version of Firefox. Perhaps a Gentoo bug ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
