can we resurrect linux-firefox-1.5 ?
[sorry if i don't post this to -ports, but i feel that this is really a -stable issue as it affects one widely used port] I am not sure if i am the only one, but on RELENG_6, linux-firefox 2 is basically unusable (see details below), while linux-firefox 1.5 is at least usable (even though it has some memory leak so after a while its size grows well above 3-400MB). Would it be possible to resurrect the linux-firefox 1.5 port (under a separate name) so at least people have a choice on which set of bugs they prefer ? The problems with linux firefox 2.0 are that after a little bit of browsing (let's say 50-100 pages) some of its threads seem to lock up, functions on the gui stop working (e.g. clicking on the tabs does not work anymore) and in the end you have to kill it hard. I have submitted a PR with more details. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/107219 cheers luigi ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If linux-firefox isn't working for youhere, I really don't have any good suggestions. I would prefer that a stable, working flash plugin for native firefox, which would install with a simple portinstall.

It is 2.0.x that exhibits severe problems. My complaint (to get back on the topic) is that 1.5 disappeared from the ports replaced by a less stable version. Sure, we might not know when the port was upgraded, but if experience teaches something, release N+1.0 of something is usually buggier than release N.X of the same software. So i am just advocating to keep the stable version around while the current one becomes stable enough. After all, in ports we have six versions of openoffice.org, four versions of staroffice, six versions of emacs/xemacs, etc. (not counting language-specific or other versions with minor variations) I understand that having multiple versions of the same thing is less than ideal, but for binary-only things where we have no chance to fix issues with with local patches, it makes a lot of sense. cheers luigi ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know that's not going to fix your problem, but I'd be interested to see if you could get to a working setup with 2.0 by running it with a limited set of extensions. Initially, I was cross about some issues with my once-favourite extension (session-manager or some similar name), but now that I've used the builtin session recovery capability, I no longer need that extension. The only extensions I have in my 2.0 setup now are Adblock Plus, NoScript and Smart Middle Click and it has been exemplary in its behaviour -- i.e., it has crashed twice in 6 weeks and it is running 24 hours a day with at least 5 windows and 50 or more tabs open at all times. And it recovered all the open tabs fine after the two crashes.

Re: a problem about linux-firefox
Hi, there is some problem in your linux-firefox installation.

Install is no error. However when the linux-firefox actually run , I get wan# linux-firefox /usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid Linux compatibility enviroment is seem to available. see the following wan# /compat/linux/bin/uname Linux And I also brand firefox-bin with Linux . see the following wan# brandelf /usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/firefox-bin File '/usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/firefox-bin' is of brand 'Linux' (3). I'm not sure linux compatibility enviroment is right, because when I use ldd ,I get wan# ldd /compat/linux/usr/bin/iconv /compat/linux/usr/bin/iconv: libc.so.6 = /lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/libc.so.6 (0x28072000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x28054000) According I known, Linux program need the shared library in the /compat/linux path. so I'm puzzling.

Hi, native firefox works well ( read usable ) with linux-flashplugin and linuxpluginwrapper. I have written a howto ( my first technical paper so please be gentle ) on how to make flashplugin work in native firefox: http://www.erata.net/weblog/default/2006/10/16/flash-plugin-on-freebsd/ hope it helps, Iulian M. http://www.erata.net -- The part of the world that people find most puzzling is the part called Me. pgpdU9PaEiMyA.pgp Description: PGP signature
