I tried it, and for good measure, did some spelunking in the .configure file in the firefox tarball. I have some questions, before possibly tweaking the Firefox ebuild and/or .configure on my machine... --enable-application=xulrunner will Firefox run without this? --enable-pango will Firefox run without this? I have the "moznopango" flag set, which is supposed to speed things up, but about:buildconfig indicates that pango is enabled. --disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --disable-install-strip Why? I thought most packages stripped code after install. --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 will Firefox run without this? --enable-oji will Firefox run without this? And what is "oji"? I can't find any mention of what it does. --enable-mathml I don't really need it right now. --enable-storage will Firefox run without this? The help says... "Enable mozStorage module and related components". Can someone please give a short explanation in plain English what this does? --disable-ogg One thing I might consider enabling. Is there a problem with Firefox's ogg support, or any other reason to disable it? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
