Hi,
I've tried (for the first time) to install the
source version of firefox
www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.7
with useflags
alsa bindist dbus gnome java linguas_de linguas_en sqlite
startup-notification
It builds just fine,
BUT
when I start firefox I get only a tiny (real tiny!)
window. When I enlarge it (dragging a vertex of the window)
it's just empty.
I have no idea what went wrong.
(I have renamed ~/.firefox and ~/.mozilla
but this doesn't help either)
I've never been sure what the bindist flag does, exactly, but I have it disabled
and firefox works normally. Enabling xulrunner saves some time and space if you
intend to use other mozilla products like thunderbird, but it shouldn't be
necessary.
for version 3.5.7 xulrunner is used per default.
Do you see any messages if you start firefox from a command prompt?
Unfortunately, nothing.
Is there any debug option?
Start it from a command prompt like this:
$ NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5 /usr/bin/firefox
The :5 is the maximum debug level. You can change it to :3 if you get
overwhelmed
by the amount of output. You should see some big error messages if firefox is
as
broken as it seems to be.
