Whenever I get a popup from firefox after installing mozilla-firefox-1.0_pre-r2, I just get a box titled "Gecko" that says: put-box { ^ The one I can reproduce is setting the tab-preferences preferences to confirm when there are several tabs, then close the window. The popup is as above. But I've seen it at least one other time that I don't think was related. emerge info gives: Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r2, 2.6.8-gentoo-r3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-g -O2" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs fixpackages nostrip sandbox userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ ftp://gentoo.agsn.ca/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.ccccom.com ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X Xaw3d aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts canna cdr cjk crypt cups debug doc dvd encode esd foomaticdb freetype freewnn gdbm gif gnome gpmgtk gtk2 guile imlib java joystick jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad maildir mbox mikmod mozilla mozsvg mpeg mule ncurses nls noantlr nobcel nobeanutils nobsh nocommonslogging nocommonsnet nojdepend nojsch nojython nolog4j nooro noregexp norhino noxalan noxerces oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline ruby scanner sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype usb video_cards_matrox x86 xinerama xml2 xmms xprint xv zlib"
I just checked, and this does not happen with a new profile. However, I'm unwilling to throw away my cookies, passwords, bookmarks and so forth yet again (and this did not happen with the previous version, 0.9.3). And I can't find any "put-box" in my real profile (except in the history.dat file from puting in this bug).
I found a page (<http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Mozilla_Suite_:_FAQs_:_Profile>) which suggested removing the XUL.mfasl file from the profile. I did this and the problem went away. Perhaps mozilla-launcher should delete this as well when there's an upgrade? (It already deletes a couple of files; see bug 63999.)
fixed in mozilla-launcher-1.22, thanks :-)
Using Firefox 1.0.2, upgraded from 1.0, and mozilla-launcher 1.29 and I get an empty window that has "Gecko" on the titlebar. Its contents do not get redrawn, because if I switch workspaces, the "Gecko" window will contain whatever was visible on that part of the previously visible workspace.
