Description Cedric Sodhi 2013-04-13 17:01:59 UTC

firefox should be buildable without spellcheck support and thus without dependence on hunspell or myspell (why the ridiculous double anyway?)

Comment 1 Cedric Sodhi 2013-04-16 18:51:22 UTC

Apparently FF misses a configure option to not compile against a spellchecker, that's why it's been made a dependency. Perhaps someone is able to provide a patch? Close if you consider upstream or invalid.

You can file a bug upstream, if they decide they want to reintroduce a useflag we will be willing to backport to esr branch.
