Upgraded mozilla-firebird from 0.6 to 0.6.1 and was unable to browse. I could load web pages from my bookmarks, but typing an url in the address bar and pressing enter did nothing. Removed /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird and remerged, works normally now. There were some files left over from the older installation of Firebird. Could these be the cause of it? Let me know if you need any more information.

What were the files left over?
I believe the files were in /usr/lib/{phoenix,MozillaFirebird{chrome,components}}... After removing mozilla-firebird, deleting /usr/lib/{phoenix,MozillaFirebird} and remerging mozilla-firebird, everything is working perfectly. This has happened on 2 machines I have here.
I also have +gtk2 (as did the other bug poster).

If someone has some time to kill (and ccache is a really nice help here) please try to replicate the problem by the following means: Unmerge any copy of mozilla-firebird presently installed, rm -rf /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird # emerge mozilla-firebird-0.6-r6 # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird regxpcom # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird regchrome # emerge mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 What I need to know here is whether this replicates the issue reliably.
Happend to me to. Need to add: Whatever you type, Firebird won't recognise it. If you try to enter something to a textbox, the text gets a black background with white foreground. Am following the steps brad requested, to assure this reproduces it.
Additional problem, possibly related: USE="-gtk2" emerge firebird # Firebird runs fine USE="gtk2" emerge firebird # Firebird will no longer launch # complains about missing libwidget_gtk.so, # when it really should be looking for libwidget_gtk2.so USE="-gtk2" emerge firebird # Firebird runs fine again
Yes. It does reproduce the bogus.
Okay Markus if the problem remains reproduced on your system, emerge sync and re-merge mozilla-firebird, the revised ebuild should automatically correct it. I'll await feedback before closing this.
Ok, nice. saw the change in the ebuild.. i should start hacking some for my own tools. doesn't seem to be too difficult. anyway, just started to reemerge firebird.
yeah, works again ;)
BANG. the ebuild cleared out my worldfile. at least, i think it was the ebuild, because i haven't done anything else on this box yet. mozilla-firebird is now the one and only entry.
Attach the ebuild in /var/db/pkg/net-www/mozilla-firebird/ to this bug There was no attribute of the ebuild which would clear your world file in any revision I've seen
Can't be reproduces, probably not related. You can close this bug.
Thanks for retrying, glad to wrap this one up
