Firefox crashes immediately if i try to open Tools --> Add-ons menu or after some seconds of usage with the following error: /usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so: undefined symbol: gconf_client_get_default This only occurs if gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.6 is built with --as-needed ldflag Also version 0.9.5 (not in portage anymore) works fine even with --as-needed enabled.

I have been unable to duplicate this. I know when I ran core2 for -march I had problems with xorg-server and other apps. Could you just test gecko-mediaplayer with -march=native and --as-needed ldflag please.
emerge gentoolkit revdep-rebuild
and/or USE=-gnome or USE=gnome (pick one) emerge mozilla-firefox gnome-mplayer gecko-mediaplayer
Reopening because this is a real bug. I hit it after a full world rebuild, so no need to say that gecko-mediaplayer, gnome-mplayer, mplayer and all their dependencies had been rebuilt. Not surprisingly either revdep-rebuild doesn't find anything to rebuild. Removing --as-needed and rebuilding gecko-mediaplayer only fixes the issue. Probably some wrongly linked library that triggers an erroneous removal of a symbol, but I haven't had time to check what exactly it is. Denis.
Bug still exist when building the newest version 0.9.7 with --as-needed. Firefox crashes while trying to stream a wmp file. Output to console is the following: NPP_New called /usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so: undefined symbol: dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main Building with --as-needed disabled solves the problem immediately.
Created attachment 205410 [details, diff] gecko-mediaplayer-as-needed.patch That should fix the issues.
Fixed in 0.9.7-r1, thanks!
