None of those programs seem to have firefox on their dependency lists in the ports system, and I don't remember using a browser with any of them. Why they aren't switched to firefox-3? The only browser usage I can see in gimp is if you configure it to use a browser for looking at online help, in which case it defaults to firefox. But even then it doesn't specify a particular version. ___ 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

I have ports updated with portupgrade. Looks like it's because of other ports depend on librsvg2 that depends on firefox. You can change librsvg2 to depend on libxul (same engine that firefox3 uses) if you want to. Or even you can disable mozilla plugin in librsvg2. I think it should be disable by default since a lot of open source browsers already have SVG support. Cheers, Mezz And I have FF-3 installed as well.

A related question is why www/firefox is still Firefox 2, and all the browser plugins like swfdec only work with that. Firefox 3 is the current stable version, shouldn't there just be www/firefox2 if people have some obscure use cases that require the old one? It's kind of surprising when pkg_add -r firefox installs such an old version. ___ 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

To a certain level, yes. If a port doesn't support libxul, it will obviously fallback on the gecko version defined in the port as default (which is probably firefox2).
