I am having the following problem for some days. I have re-emerged both packages with the same result. The same happens with xulrunner 1.9.1.4. $ firefox Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.1.3 and 1.9.1.3. $ equery which mozilla-firefox /usr/portage/www-client/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-3.5.5.ebuild $ equery which xulrunner /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-1.9.1.5.ebuild Reproducible: Always Portage 2.1.7.5 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.11-r0, 2.6.29-gentoo-r2-amd64 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r2-amd64-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_Processor_3500+-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:30:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p35 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.9-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4, 3.1.1-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.5.2-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://files.gentoo.gr/ ftp://files.gentoo.gr/ http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en el" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 apm berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt dbus divx divx4linux dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss emerald encode evo fam firefox flac fortran fuse gdbm gif glib* glitz gpm gstreamer gtk2 hal iconv ieee1394 ipod ipv6 java javascript jpeg kde lame libnotify lirc lm_sensors mad mikmod mmx mmxext modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png posix ppds pppd qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg symlink sysfs tcpd threads thunar tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l2 vcd verbose x264 xcb xcomposite xine xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en el" LIRC_DEVICES="atiusb" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
emerge xulrunner && emerge mozilla-firefox && emerge lafilefixer && lafilefixer --justfixit. After that please run revdep-rebuild.

Removing the file did not solve it and firefox complained about being unable to read it, so I had to manually edit it. Should this be copied from /usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/application.ini? (but whose responsibility is this? - emerge?)

This is most likely just an issue where the profile did not properly update.
I have tried this already with no luck. There is no .mozilla nor application.ini in home... than@zeta ~ $ ls -lad .mozilla* drwx------ 6 than users 4096 2009-02-07 11:36 .mozilla.bak than@zeta ~ $ ls -la application.ini* -rw-r--r-- 1 than users 2029 2009-11-23 13:50 application.ini.bak than@zeta ~ $ firefox Could not read application.ini than@zeta ~ $
> $ firefox > Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.1.3 and 1.9.1.3. I was getting this to, and it disappeared after *all* firefoxes and xulrunners were removed and reinstalled: # emerge -C net-libs/xulrunner-bin www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin net-libs/xulrunner www-client/mozilla-firefox # emerge mozilla-firefox
This is caused when cat /etc/gre.d/* is not updated properly.
So any workarround besides re-emerging everything? The same is still happening with 1.9.1.6.. than@zeta ~ $ mv .mozilla .mozilla_ than@zeta ~ $ firefox Error: Platform version '1.9.1.6' is not compatible with minVersion >= 1.9.1.5 maxVersion <= 1.9.1.5 than@zeta ~ $ cd /etc/gre.d/ than@zeta /etc/gre.d $ ls 1.8.1.19-bin.conf 1.9.1.5.system.conf gre.conf 1.9.1.3.system.conf 1.9.1.6.system.conf than@zeta /etc/gre.d $ cat 1.9.1.6.system.conf [1.9.1.6] GRE_PATH=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1 xulrunner=true abi=x86_64-gcc3 than@zeta /etc/gre.d $ cat 1.9.1.5.system.conf [1.9.1.5] GRE_PATH=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1 xulrunner=true abi=x86_64-gcc3 than@zeta /etc/gre.d $ cat gre.conf GRE_PATH=/opt/seamonkey
(In reply to comment #7) > than@zeta /etc/gre.d $ ls > 1.8.1.19-bin.conf 1.9.1.5.system.conf gre.conf > 1.9.1.3.system.conf 1.9.1.6.system.conf You need only have 1.9.1.6.system.conf, remove 1.9.1.3 and 1.9.1.5 these are remoed by portage normally. You need to find out why they are still installed even when you upgraded to 1.9.1.6.
