/opt/firefox/defaults/pref/firefox.js contains whatever is the upstream default. The shouldn't mozilla-firefox be the one changed then? No, it shouldn't. Noone ever told you that upstream defaults will be consistent with Gentoo ones, so pick up one ebuild or the other. There are reasons to have both installed. 32-bit firefox can't talk to a 64-bit GNOME and GNOME application preferences and is therefore unsuitable for constant usage. But you can't run Flash on 64-bit Firefox. These too have preferences that differ for basically no reason and it causes a bug. Sigh. We won't be mangling upstream defaults in -bin; live with it and don't use bin if you dislike it. |
