If it helps...

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2011-07-31 18:21:08 UTC]

Try rebuilding xulrunner

[Comment 3 mori rámar 2011-08-01 04:09:17 UTC]

I have just finished 2 "emerge -eDNu world" (I'm crazy) and apparently these did not solve.

paxctl -m /usr/bin/yelp seems solve the help. Maybe a pax-mark m ${ED}/usr/bin/yelp in ebuild is needed.

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2011-08-01 09:52:18 UTC]

Will ask at first for mozilla team opinion as this is a regression caused by yelp using xulrunner-2 instead of 1.9 (it's the only change between -r5 and -r6)

xulrunner-2 is dead, it will never go stable so your better off forcing 1.9.x or moving to firefox-5 support.

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2011-08-01 12:17:16 UTC]

OK, when will xul-2 be masked for removal? In that time, please mask yelp-2.30.2-r6 with it too (I won't be able to do it myself in the near future :( )

[Comment 7 mori rámar 2011-08-01 14:37:16 UTC]

So my own problem should be solved by forcing downgrading xulrunner. Thank you for your help.

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2011-08-27 19:56:30 UTC]

It's not exactly "fixed", but will be fixed with xul-2 is dropped

[Comment 9 Pacho Ramos 2012-10-28 12:29:06 UTC]

yelp is now using webkit
