When updating to the latest firefox-bin, I discovered I got an angry message about a missing dependency (screenshot attached), it said "You can't use speech synthesis because the Speech Dispatcher library is missing." and linked to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/speechd-setup It appears app-accessibility/speech-dispatcher is the required package in question. We should either: * Twiddle the config to disable the warning and notify the user on install to also emerge speech-dispatcher for speech functionality. OR * Add a hard dependency on speech-dispatcher Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit a website that wants speech (I got the err on usaa.com; unsure how common this is) 2. Get an angry banner telling you you are missing a dep. Actual Results: Attached screenshot Expected Results: No angry banners from a fresh installed firefox.
Created attachment 867435 [details] screenshot of err
If we wanted to disable the banner, it might be possible via https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/www-client/firefox-bin/files/gentoo-default-prefs.js
it looks like after the last 2 upgrades my "adblock" is not working anymore .. i do have it up to date and i have a bunch of live distros where firefox doesn't have any issues with adblock for youtube :) Dependency resolution took 2.00 s. [ebuild R ] www-client/firefox-bin-116.0.2

Angry banner :D come on it's being helpful! I'll add it to optfeature at some point. If there's an about:config option to silence that, everyone can toggle that on their own. I've personally never seen this, not even on that usaa.com site.
