[gentoo-user] Backdown from firefox 3 (not enough integration yet)

2008-07-14 Thread Harry Putnam
What is my best option to back down to the last 2.X of firefox?  It
appears version 3 does not have compatibility  with several addons
that I like to use (sitebar being the main one).

Is it best done in .../package.provided or some other way?

It's not slotted so you can have only one:


echo '=www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0'  /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge mozilla-firefox

Remove the entry from package.mask when you feel firefox-3.0 is good 
enough for your needs
