Bug 82784 – net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0: rebuild removes plugins from searchplugins

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Toralf Förster 2005-02-21 02:24:51 UTC]

After an 'emerge -a --newuse world' firefox was rebuild. Now I considered that the Gentoo-Bugs plugins were removed and had to be reinstalled by
wget http://mycroft.mozdev.org/plugins/Gentoo-Bugs.{src,png}

I think deleting plugins from the folder not installed by an ebuild should not be removed.

After upgrading firefox to 1.0.1 the Gentoo plugin was removed from /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins again.

[Comment 2 Toralf Förster 2005-03-25 02:24:53 UTC]

Same with version 1.0.2, emerge firefox removes plugins from /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins

I also had that problem recently.  Please have a look into bug #59671, where a patch is proposed.

It is really annoying b/c of the subsequently updates of firefox in the last
time. Any solutions in the near future ?
