Hello, I have a 10-CURRENT r255948 from October 1st, with all ports from head too, rev. r328930. FF is version 24.0 in the r328930 ports and the tabs can be moved fine with drag and drop.

firefox: after update -> version 23: can not swap tabs
After the last major update of www/firefox to version 23 firefox rejects of moving/swapping the tabs. They are static now. I do not know whether this has to do with the "great pixman update", because coincidentally I made bot the pixman update and the update of firefox towards revision 23 slipped in. My ports system and the ports are kept up to day on a almost every-two-day basis or at least weekly. The underlying OS is now FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #1 r256384: Sat Oct 12 18:34:38 CEST 2013 amd64. The question is: is this a kind of miscompilation or has there something minor changed and I didn't noticed that? User error? If some has a tip or hint, I'll appreciate it.

I did a quick check with other users of FreeBSD & Firefox and they all reported the same thing. Either the error is harmless or the FreeBSD team doesn't give a crap about it. Either way, I would like to see some sort of an official statement on it. Something along the lines of why it cannot be corrected or is safe to ignore.

Except for browsers like dillo, which are kind of outdated and incompatible with sh*tty "modern" web.

On 12/02/2013 21:38, Ronald F. Guilmette wrote: In general, I don't upgrade my ports very often, so up until recently I was running a fairly old version of firefox (firefox-15.0.1,1). But over the weekend, I moved everything over to a new drive containing the latest 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD, and with a complete set of freshly rebuilt ports, including the latest firefox 18.0.1. (As part of this process, I copied my entire /home directory over to the new drive.) So anway, mostly everything is still working ok, however at some time during this process, firefox apparently lost track of all of my personal settings... my start page, all of my bookmarks, and all of my saved web site user IDs an passwords. I looked in the /usr/ports/UPDATING file for some clue as to why this might have happened and found none. Looking into this issue a bit deeper, I've now learned that all of one's personal settings are stored in a directory having a name which has the following general form: ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default where the "" part is some eight character apparently random combination of lower case letters and digits. The odd thing is that it appears that all of my old firefox setting are still alive and well and living under a subdirectory of the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory called "4up9dkb1.default". However it does also appear that my execution of firefox, for the first time, on this new system I've been putting together has resulted in the creation of a brand new parallel subdirectory, located in the same directory as my original personal settings .default directory, but this new one is named "nh2ykiym.default". And now, firefox is apparently saving and retrieving my (new set of) personal settings out of that new directory. So, um, what gives? Why did this happen? And more to the point, can I get back all of my personal settings just via the following seemingly intutive commands: rm -fr nh2ykiym.default mv 4up9dkb1.default nh2ykiym.default or will that break something else in some obscure but annoying way? Is there a file .mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini? If so it should list which profile to use. Just change it to the one you want and it should just work.

The best websites are made by people using braille instead of displays. Sometimes they choose less good color combinations :D, but they usually are willing to fix it, if you ask them. I'm a musician, I need to "activate" the sound card and to turn on additional audio gear, before I get sound. I don't like noise all the times. It reminds me of the idiotic sounds on the main bridge of the Enterprise. Desktop sound is disabled and if I need audio notification I want the bell, a simple beep from the computer case's thingy. Idiotic animations stealing focus are a serious issue for me, regarding to dyslexia signs already are animated for me, when they aren't animated. I already can't use applications that animate a mini icon in a menu bar, if it's impossible to disable it. "It's drivin' me crazy. It's drivin' me nuts." Even if old printers are slow, loud and the printing wasn't brilliant, I'm missing my ink ribbon listing paper printers. Printing was cheap that time and reading was much nicer than using the monitor of my computer or my tablet PC. I've got inkjet printer, but it's to expensive for me, to use them. I heard that reading should be more comfortable on a cheap reader than on an iPad, but I won an iPad and will keep it as a toy and reader and won't buy a reader, since they aren't really cheap. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

That's my "problem" with Chromium and Firefox too. I like the possibility to remove visual controls (red "X" button on tabs for example) without losing functionality (middle click on tab closes tab). From my very individual experience, Opera offers the best integration of mouse and keyboard.

Firefox is my preferred browser, but it has some disadvantages compared to other browsers. 1. It's slow and bloated, even without add-ons, fortunately it doesn't matter on my relatively modern machine. 2. It's known for all kind of issues. Some years ago there sometimes was the need to delete the configuration, to get Firefox running again, it simply couldn't be started sometimes, because there were bugs. Regarding to the kind of issue, it's more likely that Firefox is buggy and the HDD still is ok. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The profile should be available by 'firefox -ProfileManager' [1], OTOH I'm booted to Ubuntu Precise and the ProfileManager doesn't start, for Arch Linux I used two profiles, one shared with another Linux and after a while I couldn't use the shared profiles anymore, but the ProfileManger still started. In the past rm -fr nh2ykiym.default mv 4up9dkb1.default nh2ykiym.default worked, or instead simply chose it with the ProfileManger, but nowadays there might be something fishy.

Upgrade causes loss of all firefox settings (?)
In general, I don't upgrade my ports very often, so up until recently I was running a fairly old version of firefox (firefox-15.0.1,1). But over the weekend, I moved everything over to a new drive containing the latest 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD, and with a complete set of freshly rebuilt ports, including the latest firefox 18.0.1. (As part of this process, I copied my entire /home directory over to the new drive.) So anway, mostly everything is still working ok, however at some time during this process, firefox apparently lost track of all of my personal settings... my start page, all of my bookmarks, and all of my saved web site user IDs an passwords. I looked in the /usr/ports/UPDATING file for some clue as to why this might have happened and found none. Looking into this issue a bit deeper, I've now learned that all of one's personal settings are stored in a directory having a name which has the following general form: ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default where the "" part is some eight character apparently random combination of lower case letters and digits. The odd thing is that it appears that all of my old firefox setting are still alive and well and living under a subdirectory of the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory called "4up9dkb1.default". However it does also appear that my execution of firefox, for the first time, on this new system I've been putting together has resulted in the creation of a brand new parallel subdirectory, located in the same directory as my original personal settings .default directory, but this new one is named "nh2ykiym.default". And now, firefox is apparently saving and retrieving my (new set of) personal settings out of that new directory. So, um, what gives? Why did this happen? And more to the point, can I get back all of my personal settings just via the following seemingly intutive commands: rm -fr nh2ykiym.default mv 4up9dkb1.default nh2ykiym.default or will that break something else in some obscure but annoying way?

But the browser performance is satisfactory. Thank you. On a 8 year old laptop with celeron 1,6GHz processor and 2GB RAM it takes about 10 hours to rebuild firefox and thunderbird. Performance is great for working, but when updating the ports I leave it building over night. Lately I have been able to use a server at work for package building with poudriere which works very well.

We can certainly shave some time and maintenance burden by using a shared libxul.so similar to how PkgSrc and Debian did.

I'd recommend to build ports inside a poudriere jail or tinderbox. Sorting out issues in the environment could be a huge timesink.

Try bugging Redports people if they plan to provide user package repositories similar to Launchpad. While one can share repos on maillist they lack necessary metadata in order to trust such packages: - an exact revision/source the package was built against - build environment - log/output of the build process - a sort of proof that the above wasn't forged (popularity?) - checksum or package signing - encrypted connection TBH, I don't have much hope for Pointyhat.

The xpdf program seems to _sometimes_ have problems with carelessly created PDF documents. The best idea would be to use a Firefox extension (as suggested) to first _download_ and _save_ the PDF file to disk for further use. Then, testing xpdf and using it to print the file would be much easier. If the file has been paid for, it can be opened several times whatever program should be tested. For example, even gv or zathura could be tried. And in the end, even acroread. Even _I_ have to admit that I'm using it from time to time, even if it REDEFINES THE MOUSE CURSOR to an ugly white arrow! What a stupid move... However, for paid content, first saving, then using, would be the best way to deal with it. So the "in-line processing chain" consisting of Firefox + somehow embedded acroread (really?) could be split, so the reason for the system freeze could be determined. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Help! Firefox + acroread costs me $$$$
This problem has been annoying me for some time now, but until now it was never really an issue that I could not easily work-around. I was just trying to download a PDF document off of the Pacer[tm] federal courts web site. These are not free. They cost ten cents per page. I tried to download a 29 page document and it downloaded into firefox just fine and then was displayed in a new firefox tab which was apparently using acroread8 to display the document. I know from past experience that acroreadN runs like crap on FreeBSD... often using up enormous amounts of CPU % for no apparently good reason. But this time it really got my goat. I clicked on the little acroread icon for printing the current document, a pop-up dialog box for printing came up, but before I could hit the print button on that, everything relating to firefox... all open tabs and all open windows... froze up solid. Now, having wasted three bucks for no good reason (and STILL not having a hardcopy of the document I wanted), I am motivated to finally get this sorted out. So, on FreeBSD, how does one get firefox and/or opera to use, for example, evince or some other PDF displayer instead of using this goddamn lousey buggy *&^%$#@ acroread ? Or do I have to fire up my Windows machine, just to print out a lousey PDF ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

firefox menu backup color/transparency

But not necessarily the version that your other ports had been tested
against. This can lead to mysterious problems, as you may have noticed.

Sometimes, for some purposes, it works, and keeping it around helps some
experts (especially porters). But "not supported" means "please
don't ask us to help you use it." That is, you should update the whole
port tree and update all dependent ports before reporting a problem.
Here is what you should do:
(1) Update your ports tree. You can use any method to do this
(e.g. cvs, cvsup, subversion, portsnap), but update the whole tree
at the same time.
(2) If step (1) did not update your INDEX file, update it
now. Possible methods include "make fetch" and "make index". I you
use portupgrade, "portsdb -Uu" is the best way.
(3) cd /usr/ports && make clean
Kind of overkill in most cases, but when your port tree is
building in bogus directories for no apparent reason, overkill may
save your butt.
(4) Upgrade all of the ports that firefox depends on (and the ones
they depend on). Tools like portmaster or portupgrade make this
much easier.
(5) Rebuild the vpx port, even if it's already up to date.
(6) Then rebuild the firefox port.

The reason is that you can safely ignore port categories for
languages and topics you're intendedly not going to use. I'm
using this approach here myself, but I include categories
that _might_ contain components that are dependencies for
other (more obvious) dependencies or programs.
So for example, if you omit ports-german, you should be fine
if you're not installing anything for that language. This
kind of selection is easy. Avoiding other categories can
be problematic when a "less obvious" dependency is requested
from such a category, e. g. a library in ports-astronomy for
some dependency for a library used in a component of a some
gadget for the KDE desktop. :-)

I had run csup with ports-multimedia since the first libvpx error came up!.
Libvpx was already up to date by the way, and correctly installed. So i did
not Symlink a library to any "missing version".
"Selectively updating ports is not supported". Then I must wonder why do
we have the option to put "ports-{$port}" inside the supfile, and not a

Firefox install problem
Hi; env: FBSD 8.3-STABLE AMD64 Firefox 15 port The problem seems to be with the porting itself. The first problem showed up during configure. Libvpx could not be found and configure stops. After examining Config.Log, I found a compiler switch like this: -L/usr/local/lib/nss I made a symlink there to libvpx.so and the port compiled without errors. Then after issuing a make install, this comes up everytime: [Snip] a ./searchplugins/yahoo.xml a ./dictionaries/en-US.aff a ./dictionaries/en-US.dic a ./defaults/pref a ./defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js a ./chrome/icons a ./chrome/icons/default a ./chrome/icons/default/default16.png a ./chrome/icons/default/default32.png a ./chrome/icons/default/default48.png /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/mozilla-release/config/nsinstall -D /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/bin rm -f -f /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/bin/firefox ln -s /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/bin gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/firefox/work/mozilla-release/browser/installer' echo 'share/applications/firefox.desktop' >> /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/plist_files echo "@dirrmtry share/applications" >> /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/plist_dirs echo 'share/pixmaps/firefox.png' >> /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/plist_files /bin/mkdir -p /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/libdata /bin/mv -f /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/pkgconfig /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/libdata/ || true mv: rename /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/pkgconfig to /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/libdata/pkgconfig: No such file or directory /bin/rm -f /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/pkgconfig cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/include *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/www/firefox. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/firefox.

You may even want to make a shell alias in your cshrc, i.e. alias make nice +19 make (or something like it) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

reduce priority of large port builds, e.g. firefox, gcc4x
Is it possible to reduce priority of port building processes with something like "nice +19 make" (tcsh syntax)? Here's a typical scenario for a large build (actually building gcc-4.7 and firefox in parallel): last pid: 54736; load averages: 5.27, 5.38, 5.11up 9+15:37:09 14:49:11 89 processes: 7 running, 79 sleeping, 2 zombie, 1 waiting CPU 0: 19.9% user, 46.3% nice, 33.8% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle CPU 1: 15.4% user, 39.7% nice, 44.9% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 1141M Active, 3853M Inact, 1097M Wired, 128K Cache, 823M Buf, 1914M Free Swap: 13G Total, 16K Used, 13G Free PIDUIDTHR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 54720 0 1 89 10 111M 102M RUN 1 0:04 24.07% cc1plus 11 0 16 -76- 0K 512K WAIT0 26:55 11.33% intr 54732 0 1 85 10 87976K 77872K RUN 0 0:01 11.28% cc1plus 3289 1001 10 200 515M 387M uwait 0 163:26 3.47% firefox-bin 54721 1001 1 200 13656K 11744K CPU00 0:00 0.10% top 54731 0 1 49 10 14440K 12064K wait0 0:00 0.10% g++ 54736 0 1 520 11240K 9856K biowr 0 0:00 0.00% as 54734 0 1 420 12176K 10992K wait0 0:00 0.00% c++ 54735 0 1 720 17696K 11336K CPU11 0:00 0.00% cc1plus At such loads the system is noticeably slower. I'm not sure if nice has the same effect on all child processes, or only on the parent process? I'd like to set the make process and all its child processes to run only when there is some idle CPU.
