Description Nick Hofstede 2006-09-10 14:56:48 UTC 
Many firefox plugins work with 64bit firefox, but some don't. One of those is the xforms plugin.

One way to solve this is to emerge firefox with xforms support enabled.
It only requires changing the line

mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-extensions=default,typeaheadfind

into

mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-extensions=default,xforms,schema-validatalidation,typeaheadfind

in the ebuild, but it would be better if there was an xforms USE-flag that made this optional.

I emerged my firefox with xforms enabled now, and it works great, but I'd rather have it as an official use-flag so I can do away with overlays or running ebuild digest against the ebuild.

has been added to 2.0 :)

Why is the name of the USE flag xform instead of xforms in mozilla-firefox-2.0_rc2?
Comment 3 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-16 23:17:54 UTC 
fixed and renamed to xforms in rc3, thanks.
