Version has been bumped to 57.0.2. www-client/firefox-bin also needs to be updated.
Duplicate of bug #639854
That bug only mentions firefox-57.0.1 which is already in the tree not 57.0.2 which is now available.....
(In reply to Jess Haas from comment #2) > That bug only mentions firefox-57.0.1 which is already in the tree not > 57.0.2 which is now available..... 57.0.2 only affects Windows, so a version bump is not necessary.
www-client/firefox-57.0.3 Debian~unstable has updated to .3 Perhaps that is a Linux relevant release. I did simple version bump without problems. Compiles and runs.
The change in 57.0.3 is so far as I can tell irrelevant to gentoo's www-client/firefox , as we disable crashreporter at build time (mozilla upstream rejects crash reports from custom builds, which is effectively what you are creating with a www-client/firefox emerge). I've already bumped the binpkg though as it is relevant for that one.
@Ian very thanks for the info, I should lookup the Changelog before compiling :(
