Description Chris Ribble 2010-01-25 16:47:30 UTC
After installing www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.6 (and xulrunner-1.9.2) and updating my desktop shortcut, Firefox opens without any of the browser chrome or content. The whole "page" area is the standard grey used in Firefox, with only a single thin grey bar at the top of the page. This renders Firefox completely useless.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.6 and net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2
2. Launch firefox
3. Observe that all browser chrome and content is missing

Actual Results:  
Firefox launches without chrome or content

Expected Results:  
Firefox should display chrome and content

Before firefox 3.6 was hard masked the other day, I had it installed without issue. Then it was hard masked and I downgraded to 3.5.7, which also worked. It is only now, after upgrading back to 3.6 (with what I must assume is a different ebuild than the one portage used the last time 3.6 was installed), things are all messed up. :(

Comment 3 Chris Ribble 2010-01-25 17:06:32 UTC
I remembered just now that I had disabled the networkmanager use flag for firefox and xulrunner because I didn't see the point of pulling in new dependencies.

I tried rebuilding both packages with networkmanager enabled and Firefox works now, so it appears that the issue is limited to building with -networkmanager.

Comment 6 Oo.et.oO 2010-01-25 19:37:58 UTC
i noticed that my setup seems to require xul-runner with networkmanager turned on.  i don't see the point of this requirement either.   there must be some widgit in new firefox using the networkmanager stuff??

i was going to post another bug about not requiring networkmanager in xulrunner for firefox-3.6 but i guess i'll just see what comes of this bug and install this dep anyway even though this machine is permanently tethered.

you can always disable the useflag, noone has confirmed weather a new profile fixes the issue or not, until such information is provided I am stuck guessing at your problem.

the post from me above is with -networkmanager (ie, the useflag turned off).  firefox ebuild won't complete without networkmanager built into xulrunner.   i haven't tried altering the ebuild to remove the rdep.

If you disable networkmanager for xulrunner you will need to do the same for firefox, many devs and users have already tested that this works as expected, the chrome issue is most likely a broken profile upgrade, a clean profile will give me the results that are gonna be needed to reproduce this bug.
Comment 10 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-02-12 09:28:04 UTC
I think networkmanager USE flag was recently swapped for wifi.

For lost tabs I suggest "session manager" addon. It's on my must have list. With this addon, you will NEVER loose opened tabs. Workes perfectly since pre-3.0 days.

Feel free to reopen bug if problem is still their with the needed info.
