Bug 94712 – Patches to improve mozilla's behavior with other browsers that embed gecko

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description kfm 2005-06-01 01:33:21 UTC]

Hi. I was checking the release notes for galeon recently and noticed a referral to a page which discusses several minor patches for mozilla and mozilla-firefox which are "needed for optimal Epiphany support":

http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fMozillaPatches

These patches apparently improve mozilla with a view to browsers that embed gecko (like epiphany and galeon, for example). They seem quite reasonable; 3 are recommended for the latest version of mozilla and refer to these mozilla bugs:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224454
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277587
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238052

I would like for them to be included in mozilla (and perhaps even firefox but that's for another bug) by default. I shall attach the above mentioned patches and a proposed ebuild.

mozilla-window-modal.patch (#224454)

Prompts should not be application modal but just window modal.

nsSecureBrowserUIImpl's nsUIContext interface requestor doesn't give access to
the dom window.

Mozilla is dead upstream and will be removed from portage. (This should already be included in Seamonkey anyway according to the usptream bugs).
