I also have the gnome overlay for swfdec-mozilla. From an empty profile * Some image files still do no go through (no images here http://en-US.start2.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official and many missing on youtube.com) * Unable to add certificate security exception (it hangs forever). * navigation toolbar buttons do not work at all. * gmail works fine and seems more responsive and faster. ---- "$emerge --info" output: * Overlay eclasses override eclasses from PORTDIR: * * '/usr/portage/local/layman/gnome/eclass/gnome2.eclass' * '/usr/portage/local/layman/gnome/eclass/gnome2-utils.eclass' * * It is best to avoid overridding eclasses from PORTDIR because it will * trigger invalidation of cached ebuild metadata that is distributed with * the portage tree. If you must override eclasses from PORTDIR then you * are advised to run `emerge --regen` after each time that you run `emerge * --sync`. Set PORTAGE_ECLASS_WARNING_ENABLE="0" in /etc/make.conf if you * would like to disable this warning.

Switched to closed source nvidia driver, cairo glitz backend, composite extension enabled xorg. Images are back. Then it's not firefox related (could be a xorg(libfb)/cairo/xcb issue). Closing.
