Bug 147608 – can't start firefox Profile Manager when mozilla-launcher is compiled with USE=aoss

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Skwar 2006-09-14 13:39:20 UTC]

I have mozilla-firefox and mozilla-launcher installed with the following flags:

alexander@blatt ~ $ emerge -vp mozilla-{firefox,launcher}

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

When I try to start Profile Manager, I get an error:

alexander@blatt ~ $ LC_ALL=C firefox -ProfileManager

Which file does not exist?

I now compiled mozilla-launcher with USE=-aoss and "firefox -ProfileManager" works.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-09-14 13:47:39 UTC]

BTW, any major reason w/ this can't use "oss" flag like the rest of the stuff w/ OSS support? :)

[Comment 3 Christian Marie (RETIRED) 2006-12-24 09:14:27 UTC]

Looks like the use flag was only in there for mozilla-launcher-1.52-r1, closing as this use flag no longer exists.
