how do you expect plugins to be present in mozilla-firefox when you are building against xulrunner ? firefox doesn't use (yet) xulrunner so you have to choose what kind of browser you will use: firefox or xulrunner-based (epiphany) No, that's not true. Plugins are installed in a central location, and firefox can find them fine. At least, it's *supposed* to work. I don't have firefox, so I can't verify.

The failure to not find the plugins with 2.20.1 seems related to the totem-2.20.1-browser-plugins.patch. When I remove the first hunk for configure.in of the patch, firefox finds the totem plugins again. Created attachment 136644 [details, diff]
patch removing the first hunk for configure.in (as it was in earlier versions of the patch)
this is the updated patch that lets firefox find the plugins of totem built against xulrunner. However in the log of the gentoo cvs I find a comment from compnerd "add a hack to fix firefox runtime (Portage version: 2.1.3.12)" that indicates that the line I removed should have fixed the same or another issue.
Please try -r1. It should work if you build with nsplugins + xulrunner as it is now more strict about applying the xpcom hack (applies only with firefox). (In reply to comment #6) > Please try -r1.

However, in the overlay totem-2.21.5.ebuild the local $needs_xpcom_hack construct doesn't work.The patch gets applied whatever USE flag I tried (-xulrunner -seamonkey; -xulrunner seamonkey; xulrunner -seamonkey; -xulrunner -seamonkey) though only the latter combination should do it. Probably the best way would be to solve it like in the 2.20.1-r1 ebuild. Furthermore I found a typo in the 2.21.5 ebuild if use tracker || use nsplugins ; then should read if use tracker || use nsplugin ; then otherwise you get with USE=-tracker : nsplugins is not in IUSE |
