Hi, indeed. If you disable USE="system-libvpx" (i.e. don't set it activly or set USE="-system-libvpx" portage will tell firefox to use the bundled version. Bundling software is generally spoken a really bad habit, and within the firefox package you can see several USE="-system-something" flags, that are just a try to unbundle things on user's choice. Hope that helps a bit, Nils -- PGP fingerprint: '00EF D31F 1B60 D5DB ADB8 31C1 C0EC E696 0E54 475B' keybase.io/nfreydank
