Can you please post your USE variable of your make.conf and post your emerge -av firefox? It will be helpful to track where's your problem with Firefox. From etc/make.conf:
USE="X unicode nls -ipv6 -openmp"
The emerge -av output:
> emerge -av firefox
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

Try to compile it with dbus support. Also, you just have a java-capable browser without any other plugin, as your Firefox is being compiled with java flag. > Also, you just have a java-capable browser without any other plugin, > as your Firefox is being compiled with java flag. Somehow this does not work. If I start firefox and open http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/Clock/example1.html I should get a line drawing of a clock, with a moving seconds hand. Instead I get a grey square with a label saying "Click here to download plugin". I'll try with the dbus flag and see if it makes any difference. No, adding 'dbus' for firefox in etc/portage/package.use did not make a difference regarding the plugins problem. Interesting... please, post your emerge --info. Also, post the build log for your Firefox. And, can you please tell what appears in the about:plugins tab? Here is `emerge --info'. I will add the other things in subsequent comments.

Dude, it seems that everything is working fine. Your system doesn't have anything that makes it uses java, anyway. Try adding java, java6 and javascript to your make.conf, run emerge -uDN world and install java. This should fix your lack of java in Firefox, as your system as a whole lacks it. =) Just to clarify, my emerge --info to give you an idea of how "lack" your system is of a lot of things: PS: you REALLY should consider editing a more complete make.conf Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r3, 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 x86_64)

Thank you. Jeremy, if I wasn't courteous neither professional, I'm sorry. The fault is of my very poor english. =) I'll try to be more polite. (In reply to comment #10) > Dude, it seems that everything is working fine. > Your system doesn't have anything that makes it uses java, anyway. > Try adding java, java6 and javascript to your make.conf, run emerge -uDN world > and install java. How can you see this? The configure shows java being found, so it's there ... He have java support, but it isn't turned on as he doesn't have java, java6 neither javascript USE flags turned on. He have to, I think, to make Firefox or any other app understand what a javascript is and to use it. When I start Firefox and do Edit->Preferences->Content the "Enable Javascript" box is ticked. At the moment my package.use has net-libs/xulrunner java -alsa www-client/firefox java -alsa The USE definition in etc/make.conf has nothing related (it is USE="X unicode nls -ipv6 -openmp"). The order that emerges occur is: sun-jdk, xulrunner, firefox. I can try out any changes that you suggest. Some time has passed and when I now bootstrap from scratch and emerge sun-jdk-1.6.0.23 and firefox-3.6.15 (with the java USE flag enabled) I actually get a Java-capable firefox without further tweaks. The clock applet in comment 4 just works. Let me know if you want me to check some things in this recent successful Prefix tree. I think I may have hit the same bug. I was using www-client/firefox-bin-25.0 and switched to www-client/firefox-25.0.1 (with bindist USE flag enabled, so I've got Aurora instead of a branded Firefox, in case that makes a difference). Once I started up my newly compiled Firefox, I noticed that none of the plugins I had in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ had been loaded by Firefox. I looked in /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/ and I noticed that there was a dead symlink "plugins -> /usr/lib/firefox/plugins". I tried making a symlink with "ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins /usr/lib64/firefox/plugins", but while this did not cause my plugins to load when I restarted firefox. I am not using a prefix installation. I'm sorry but I need to close this after all those years. |
