The easiest way is to install the portupgrade tool, and then run
'portupgrade firefox' as root.

See § 4.5.5 in the FreeBSD Handbook.

Re: Firefox

[Alfredo Perez]

I just did a 'portupgrade firefox' and I still dont have forefox ver 1.0

This is what I have on in my screen:

"[Updating the pkgdg  in var/db/pkg ... - 195
packages found (-0 +159).
done]"

Any other idea?

Thanks

Because the port is NEW you need to do a "portinstall firefox" _or_ a
portupgrade -N firefox.

Are you sure you correctly updated your ports? Firefox 1.0 has been 
known to be in the ports for ages.

I don't think that would keep him from installing the newer version 
after he cvsuped, system might complain or manually rebuild the index 
but thats it. After the portupgrade problem with index and how long it 
takes to rebuild the index I now do this now too. also I run pkgdb -F or 
pkgdb -Fu and portsclean -C before running portupgrade -arRwW and after 
I run portupgrade I run portsclean -CDD and then clean out the old libs, 
that is...if portupgrade had no errors. He emailed me and said he was 
installing it for the first time, I think he just didn't do the cvsup 
part correctly.

Okey, I just updated my ports following your instructions. I saw in the 
Makefile file that the port version is equal to 1.0 ( before was equal 
to 0.9). Now, what should I do next::

Desinstall Firefox and install it again and then I run pkgdb
or
First run pkgbd and then install Firefox

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox && make deinstall && make clean
# make && make install && make clean

Alternately:

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox && make deinstall && make reinstall

... but I suggest the first way, as it would be sure to clean out 
everything first before rebuilding.

The pkgdb stuff will be done automatically.

Also, I guess I should mention it as others have brought it up, but you 
can use portupgrade to do this, too, though the way I described doesn't 
need it, and it does essentially the same thing. Maybe you've already 
installed it and are using it. In that case:

# portupgrade -rR firefox

Portupgrade is a convenient tool, but you have to watch out for 
occasional dependency problems. Here's a good tutorial:

Desinstall Firefox and install it again and then I run pkgdb -F. umm but 
since you updated your port sources I'd just run portupgrade, you do 
have it installed?, and upgrade everything, it will take awail and if 
portupgrade bitch's about py24-* (used for gnome, gtk stuff) you'll have 
to umm I think manually deinstall and then reinstall it or pkgdb -F or 
something like that, I can't remember. just know that when they change 
the port from py23-* to py24-* portupgrade didn't like it and would not 
upgrade the port. its up to you if you just want to rebuild firefox or 
do the whole shebang.

... but I suggest the first way, as it would be sure to clean out
everything first before rebuilding.
The pkgdb stuff will be done automatically.
   

Also, I guess I should mention it as others have brought it up, but you 
can use portupgrade to do this, too, though the way I described doesn't 
need it, and it does essentially the same thing. Maybe you've already 
installed it and are using it. In that case:

# portupgrade -rR firefox
Portupgrade is a convenient tool, but you have to watch out for 
occasional dependency problems. Here's a good tutorial:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1
 

It should be noted that your getting a lot of different advice and 
commands to run. the reason for this is that everyone has there own 
style for upgrading and installing ports (and you may or may not be 
getting verbose advice). when/if you pick and choose the commands to run 
from different people here without knowing what they do you could run 
into problems, its time to start reading:

Flash I'm not sure, there is a flashplayer-port allthough, but I believe 
it only works with linux-firefox ( but again: I'm not sure so don't hold

use the mplayer-plugin in the www category. I haven't used it myself (

1.5

Hi,

I'm using Firefox 1.5 on FreeBSD 6.0REL.  The 
flash-plugin for the native mozilla port works 
great.  I haven't used the mplayer-plugin yet.

Check out the FreeBSD handbook's chapter about browsers:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-browsers.html

See "6.2.3 Firefox and Macromedia(R) Flash^TM Plugin" and
check if it works for you. I have virtually no experience
with "Flash" on newer system and browser versions (8.1-R
with Firefox 3.4 on your side?), but in the past, this was
an instruction that worked - until I removed "Flash", of
course. :-)

To install Flash for Firefox, I use this HOWTO
http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php?p=33673&postcount=1
I have used Linux Base Port 10 but now I use Linux Base Port 8 because I can
use ICA Client, Citrix (see BSD Mag from last month).
Flash works well on Firefox with both Linux Base Port, but please don't
install both at the same time.

I'm afraid you effectively deleted your ports collection; try using 
"tag=." for ports-all instead of "tag=RELENG_5_2". 

Notice this section in the supfile:

###
#
# DANGER!  WARNING!  LOOK OUT!  VORSICHT!
#
# If you add any of the ports collections to this file, be sure to
# specify them like this:
#
#   ports-all tag=.
#
# If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of
# the files in your ports tree.  That is because the ports collections
# do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD source tree.

Good luck,
Karel.

The method I used was:

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
# make
# make install

I first updated my ports tree though. Everything went perfectly slick.

You will want to use the ports. man ports for more details.
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html is a nice way to find software
from the web. One port you will probally want to look into is
portinstall. It simplifies install and upgrading

The problem with installing software that way is it can screw up
future upgrades and/or installs and/or builds. Because of that, it is
generally best to avoid it.

I'm on 5.4-RELEASE-p8, not 6.0 like you, so that may account for the

Yes!  That's the problem exactly.  In fact I was getting the 'undefined

nppdf.so resides.  At that point the error went away and the plugin was

The only one that I am aware of is intentionally to put the wrong
directories in libmap.conf for the Adobe Reader, or remove the plugin
entirely.  Then you can at least choose the application that opens the
PDF, at least in Gnome.  That's a good working definition for a kludge,
but I know of no others at the moment.

You could of course use a different PDF reader, but honestly I like the
Adobe Reader the best.  Evince is just too slow to be useful, and the
others just feel klunky to me.

Ok... well.. here is my workaround.  YMMV.

In firefox:
 Edit -> preferences -> downloads -> plugins
   disable pdfs
go to download a pdf file... tell it to always automatically open with
   /usr/local/bin/acroread7

It opens in an external window, but still saves me a click or two.

Still be nice if the plugin worked.

i've been following this thread, and the problem persists in mozilla-devel 
as well. the best workaround is still the one you've suggested. you can 
also do this by removing the nppdf.so symbolic link in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser-plugins.

I had the same problem with firefox but I had assigned acroread5 as the 
pdf handler in the preferences>downloads. When I changed it to 
acroread7, it also read the pdf file.

Eric, 
 
You have the setup right in libmap.conf. You need to create 
or copy acroread7 to acroread in /usr/local/bin and make 
sure the permissions are correct. This should solve the 
problem.  
 
I don't know why but libmap.conf points to the wrong 
location for acrobat. And acroread7 port doesn't install a 
shell named acroread. It doesn't seem to make since to name 
the script with the version number.

Set mime types and handlers correctly?

I use KDE and konqueror, but once in a while I have to set some mine type -> 
handler things and it looks like you got a similar thing.

Ok, *which* mimetypes?  There are mime files in ~/. and in
various ~/.mozilla directories?  At least 2 in .mozilla--
one for firefox, one for mozilla.  These are named 
mimeTypes.rdf.  Be nice if firefox considered that thhere
are a few of us old time CLI guys still around!

With mozilla, there are places to type in specs about the
"helper" apps; things such as files suffixed with ".smil"
use realplay.  As do several other files.  Both realplay
and mplayer can do everything (in theory); I've stuck
with realplay.

thanks, Dan, but I'm still lost.

Re: Firefox::::: ugh.

[nawcom]

you can set up the mimetype for your user ($HOME/.mailcap) or globally 
(/etc/mailcap)


by adding the line "application-smil: /location/of/realplay" to the file.

I guess I'm confused, are you expecting the realplay binary to be in 
X11R6/bin, or are you confused about where and how to manually set up 
the mimetype?
you can figure out where realplay is by running "which realplay" in a 
console - as long as the path is set up in the shell's $PATH variable.

Yes, realplay in in X11R6/bin, and is in my path::

q4 8:19  [7264] which realplay
/usr/X11R6/bin/realplay
q4 8:20  [7265] locate realplay | grep bin
/usr/X11R6/bin/realplay
/usr/X11R6/lib/RealPlayer/realplay.bin
q4 8:20  [7266] echo $PATH
/home/kline/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin

But for whatever reason, given an ".smil" file, mozilla defaults
to realplay.  firefox gives me that obscure popup.  

I'll add the "application-smil:" line to /etc/mailcap and 
see if firefox gets a clue

Yes, I have the sam experiences. But in my case all mozilla based
browsers (Mozilla, Firefox, Galeon) crash at sites like that. Browsing
over the internet with those browsers is almost impossible for me, they
crash at every site with (bad?) javascript or flash, and that are a lot
of sites. Now I use Opera again, which is very stable.

Firstly, are you using the old method of using flashpluginwrapper or the newer 
linuxpluginwrapper.

Secondly, are you using flash7, which isn't yet supported on Firefox.

I'm using the default Flash 6  and linuxpluginwrapper, and have seen no 
problems with mozilla or firefox.

Well, that certainly improves things.
Firefox doesn't crash or lock up anymore, but of course, most flash on
the web these days is flash 7, so nothing plays.  Definitely an
improvement.

Ah sorry, flashplugin-firefox is the GPLed flash clone. This didn't work at 
all for me when I tried it earlier in the year, typically cpu usage would go 
up to 100%, and most of the time it would crash.

The genuine Macromedia version for Linux is reliable, but it relies on your 
installing linux emulation, and being comfortable with installing a 
third-party binary.

Yeah, I wasn't seeing the CPU spike, more like a sudden halt.  Not
even a screeching halt, more like it had just hit an immovable object.

Ah, well, who's going to do flash better than Macromedia? :)

I noticed that the flashpluginwrapper installed linux-flashplugin6 as
a dependency.  What was your experience with 7?

Thanks.

Flash 7 is supported with Mozilla. 

I prefer Mozilla over Firefox, but I haven't bothered to upgrade to 7. I've 
never actually seen anything that doesn't work on  flash 6. I probably just 
don't get around enough.

Alterately use Mozilla which already has browser and mail integrated.

What did you do to update your ports-tree? The easiest way on
FreeBSD-6.0 is with portsnap:

# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extact

And that'll have your ports tree up-to-date ready to build firefox.

Ben,

Do the following:

It should have info about the firefox source download for version 1.5.
If it does not, you will have to look next into upgrading your ports.

Presumably you didn't manage to update your ports tree yet (or you're
updating to an old version, e.g. the 6.0-RELEASE ports tree).  If
you're using cvsup, please post your supfile so we can check what is
wrong with it.

Re: Firefox 1.5

[Frank Staals]

Hmm I got a question regarding to Fx 1.5. Has anyone else noticed a 
tremendous slowdown when using 1.5 ? I especially mean when the 
popup-window opens to ask what you want to do with a download ( save it 
or open it ) then Fx hangs for about 15 seconds ( while the 'ok' button 
is not clickable ) then It continues again. Also Firefox crashed when I 
tried using an upload function ( to attach a file to a post in a forum ).


Anyone else had problems with this ? ( Using Xfce4.2.3.1 with gtk2.8.9 
here )


Thanks in advance

This has also been reported by other people including myself.  There 
doesn't seem to be any progress on diagnosing the problem.  The only 
thing I've been able to notice is that if I run truss on the firefox 
process during it's slowdown/hang it shows that firefox is repeatedly 
calling the kse_release system call.

I have the same issues since updating to FF 1.5. For me, it freezes up
for 2-3-5 minutes the first time that one of those "popup-windows" comes
up after a clean Firefox start. After the first one that comes up,
subsequent ones are fine.

I opened a bug with the Mozilla people, but it got closed and marked as
a duplicate of this bug (which they say has been fixed in their 1.8 CVS):

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305970

I have not yet tried to build the CVS, but it is a very annoying bug
indeed since other things seem to crash 1.5 like the mplayer plugin and
then I have to restart FF...therefore experiencing the problem again.

Have you tried to just apply the patch in the bug report and recompile 
1.5?  If that fixes it send a FreeBSD PR and CC the firefox 
maintainer so they can add the patch to the port in the mean time.  
I've started compiling, but your AMD64 system is a lot faster that my 
old Athlon. :)

I've just tried out the patch in the above bug report and it does seem 
to fix the problem.  There was a rejected hunk in the patch, but it 
just looked like a comment so no functionality was actually missing.  
This should probably be added to the firefox port.

I can confirm this! You probably want to use a slightly modified version
of the patch (from mozilla CVS). I did not test the latter, but the
differences between the patch from CVS and the Bugzilla report are only
minor style issues.

It's consistent with the rest of GNOME. Being a GNOME user, I like it.
I think you can turn it off at compile time, but I haven't checked
to see if the port supports it as well.

Speaking of lunacy: Before I upgrade to 1.5, can someone tell me if the
'feature' of renaming downloaded files by incrementing version number has
been restored to a more sensible "Do you want to overwrite this file"
question or even a clear filename.bla[2] signature? I've managed to
download the same file three times, with newly created 'versions' without
realising! It's particularly annoying when the file itself has a version
number, so I end up with:

file-5.3
file-6.3
file-7.3

and so on...

OK, you got the link right, so it's not that.

Two more suggestions:

what does "about:plugins" show?  Type it into the firefox address bar.  
It should show you all the plugins being recognised, and mine includes 
Java, Acrobat. Flash etc.
If it isn't showing java then *maybe* it's that firefox doesn't like the 
linux version of the java plugin.  I'm using the native FreeBSD version 
(ports/java/jdk14), so maybe installing that would help.


I'm supposing that for the linux version to work you would have to have 
linux compatibility enabled, either in your kernel or as a loadable 
module.  (As root) what does

   kldload linux
show?  Mine is loaded and I get:

# kldload linux
kldload: can't load linux: File exists

If you get no error, then try restarting firefox and seeing if java now 
works.  If it does then you need to make sure that linux module gets 
loaded at boot time:


# echo linux_load="YES" >> /boot/loader.conf

At least one of the dependencies is out of date.  Probably nspr in
this case.  Try portupgrade or portmanager to update your installed
ports before continuing to install new ones.

Given the above, it should be affected. Reading the original documents it 
doesn't show. And I can't find anywhere that firefox 2 is End of Life.

If that's ancient, you should do a find /usr/ports -name Makefile -exec ident

Firefox was EOL in December 2008.  No security updates or fixes will be 
released for it.


http://www.linuxjournal.com/print/1007661

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox

It should be removed from the ports tree.

Yeah, it's really from the gecko handling.  According to
Mk/bsd.gecko.mk, I think you could add something like the following to
make.conf to do what you need:

USE_GECKO= firefox3<->firefox

But it doesn't work, and neither does the formulat actually given in the
makefile.  From checkin comments a few months back, I think this
capability is on hold waiting for xulrunner 1.9.  Don't quote me on
that, though; I don't quite understand some of the mechanisms in use.

I used: pkg_delete -dfv Firefox 3.0.11,1

It worked fine. Then build and install the new version. Depending on
how you manage your ports, you might need to run something like:
"pkgdb -Ffuv" after installing the new port.

yep it compiles fine on amd64 freebsd 7.2 p3. However when launched it asks 
for you to accept a cookie from some strange site. I denied the cookie 
permission and firefox35 immediately shut down.

Thanks Jerry. I tend to build ports on one machine and then install packages on 
another so I'll be doing it with packages, but thanks for the info.

The question has already been answered on 2012-08-02.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-August/243984.html

You need to recompile the PNG library (from ports, does _not_
belong to the system - it's /usr/ports/graphics/png that will
install libpng to your system) with the "Animated PNG support"
(APNG) option [x] set. After doing so, you will be able to resume
your Firefox build. See "man ports" or the manual of your port
management tool (e. g. portmaster) on how to do that. Make sure
you do "make clean" prior to that attempt.

Re: firefox & png

[david coder]

thx, i hadn't seen the reply to my earlier message.

unfortunately, though i've got the png port installed w/ 


OPTIONS=APNG "Animated PNG support" On

the install of freebsd fails w/ the error message given below.

is there something else required in the png makefile or elsewhere that i'm
missing?

some writers have insisted that a recent install of the os is also needed,
but that is also a non-issue for my boxes:  they're up to date.

installing firefox is not as urgent for me since chrome is adequate for most
purposes, but still...

thx for your reply.  any further thoughts would be appreciated.

That should be the default. Anyway, you can always check which
options had been in use when building and installing a port:

% cat /var/db/ports/png/options
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for png-1.4.8
_OPTIONS_READ=png-1.4.8
WITH_APNG=true

In this example you can see that it has been properly installed.

Sadly the Firefox build error message is not included.

I'm sure this entry of /usr/ports/UPDATING applies:

20120531:
  AFFECTS: users of graphics/png
  AUTHOR: din...@freebsd.org

  The PNG library has been updated to version 1.5.10.  Please rebuild all
  ports that depend on it.

  If you use portmaster:
portmaster -r png-
  If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr graphics/png

It's easy to do so as the required commands are provided. Make
sure your ports tree is up to date and follow the advice to
install all ports depending on the _latest_ libpng (which you
seem to have installed, as you confirmed).

That is only needed when a 3rd party program or library requires
a newer OS version. The OS itself does not provide a PNG library.
If such a requirement is present, ports usually refuse to build
on older systems (the Makefile refuses to continue working if the
minimum OS version is not met). Such a change in a port will
definitely be mentioned in /usr/ports/UPDATING, a file worth
checking whenever dealing with updates as it often contains
important information regarding such changes.

I also have Firefox installed here, even though it's not up to
date, perfectly fitting the system's outdatedness. :-) I had
no problems installing it. Examining the Makefile of Firefox
(/usr/ports/www/firefox/Makefile) I don't see anything that
mentions libpng or animated PNG support. Maybe this is a
dependency of a dependency of Firefox?

Again, this seems to match the entry of /usr/ports/UPDATING.
It does _not_ require you to reinstall your OS. Where would
we be if every little package addition would force the OS to
be reinstalled... :-)

This line just tells you what the default is on a system that hasn't built
the png port yet.  Before 2011-07-08, the default was Off.

What does "make showconfig" in the ports/graphics/png directory print?  I
bet you first installed the png port over a year ago, so you have inherited
the Off value from then.

I built Firefox 14 a couple of days ago and png installed is now version 
1.5.12. So an updated ports tree should incorporate that change now shouldn't 
it.

That should be the default. Anyway, you can always check which
options had been in use when building and installing a port:

% cat /var/db/ports/png/options
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for png-1.4.8
_OPTIONS_READ=png-1.4.8
WITH_APNG=true

In this example you can see that it has been properly installed.

true, but from what i have been able to sniff out on my own, ports
configuration data are stored in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports
tree, so that if png has been installed already & you do a "make showconfig"
in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the data are read from files in /usr/local/include,
& if you run "make config" in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the files affected by
any change are in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports tree.

this has been a learning experience for me & prolly will continue to be as
others here correct me.

That's not fully correct. Ports _configuration_ (what you select
with "make configure") is not stored inside the ports tree -- so
far correct. It's _not_ stored in /usr/local/include. Anything
that will go to those directory subtree will be installed there
only by a "make install" step, not by "make configure". The
options set for a port by "make configure" (even if no "make" or
"make install" follows) is /var/db/ports//options, where
 is the name of the port in question. This data will be
queried by "make showconfig". See the example shown above.

make configure -> data into /var/db/ports//options

make -> data into /usr/ports///work/...

make install -> data into /usr/local and its subtrees

The directory /usr/local/include is intended to hold header files
for interfacing with various libraries. It doesn't have anything
to do with ports _configuration_; it's designated content _may_
be affected by how a port is configured (by its own options or
by implicit dependencies and _their_ content).

See "man 7 ports" for an overview of how ports are utilized on
FreeBSD. There's also a chapter in The FreeBSD Handbook dealing
with ports. As soon as you have understood the simple mechanisms
that build the basic parts the ports infrastructure works on,
you will be quickly able to resolve all issues easily.

I installed seamonkey 2.0.11 and I observe the same squishy output.
I can print from other applications without any problems either.
Print to postscript or PDF and then view it with ghostscript or PDF viewer.
Therefore this has nothing to do with CUPS or the actual printing to one's 
printer.  It has to do with the generation of the postscript file, perhaps by 
cairo.

I have included the good postscript output from the linux system's firefox as 
reference.  Please see previous message for the bad postscript output.

The mailing list strips attachments.

Based only on the description, I suspect Firefox is using different
fonts on the two systems.  That's about as far as I can go with my
limited knowledge of Firefox text rendering, but others may have
suggestions re how to go about fixing this.

Warren,
 I was fighting this problem over the weekend. I have a network
 printer. I did a debug on the core dump and there was a some kind of
 cups library involved. I have WITHOUT_CUPS=YES in make.conf.

I checked the installed ports and saw that cups-client was installed. I
removed it and was able to print.

YMMV

That works!  It does leave a long list of ports that are convinced they 
need cups-client to work, but that's probably something that needs to be 
fixed by rebuilding them without CUPS anyway.
