I don't get it then. Does anyone know why I can't compile Firefox as described in the link above? This sums it up: "firefox-9.0 ebuild stalls at the install phase while xpcshell command tops CPU usage for hours." Although xpcshell doesn't use any CPU for me. It just sits there and the install phase doesn't proceed. - Grant
