Description Sven Müller 2017-03-26 17:53:48 UTC

Since the last system update I'm unable to emerge Firefox. Not sure if it's a duplicate of https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600676

It fails to install: 

resource://gre/modules/addons/LightweightThemeImageOptimizer.jsm
resource://gre/modules/addons/PluginProvider.jsm
resource://gre/modules/addons/ProductAddonChecker.jsm
resource://gre/modules/addons/SpellCheckDictionaryBootstrap.js

Comment 4 Sven Müller 2017-04-12 18:28:26 UTC

Found the solution of the problem: 

Pulseaudio

Due to some basic problems of Pulseaudio with my Asus Xonar card I removed that "nice piece" after some time of testing. Not sure why, but some libs remained in the system:

/usr/lib32/libpulse.so.0
/usr/lib64/libpulse.so.0
/usr/lib64/libpulse-simple.so.0

After removing that stuff Firefox installed successfully and runs fine (including sound). 

Hence, I assume the problem was caused by an incomplete Pulseaudio installation (or better removal).

Comment 5 Sven Müller 2017-07-13 18:14:54 UTC

As I wrote. The problem was caused by a dirty Pulseaudio deinstallation.
