this applies to both mozilla-firebird-bin and mozilla-firebird: after installing the optimoz mouse gestures as root, the mozilla and MozillaFirebird executables start but do not display any windows. i checked by starting both scripts from the commandline as well as from within kde and there was no error in any case. although no window opens the processes are visible in the process list (ps aux | grep -i moz) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. versions: mozilla: 1.5-r1 mozilla-firebird-bin: 0.7 emerge info: Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, 2.4.23-ck1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.23-ck1 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10p1 distcc 2.11.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs sandbox ccache userpriv fixpackages" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad mikmod mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts aalib svga X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt kde motif opengl mozilla alsa apache2 curl evo gd -gnome gtk2 -java kerberos lcms maildir mysql odbc perl plotutils postgres samba tcltk tetex tiff usb wmf xml xml2 video_cards_sis"
I emerged mozilla firefox but nothing happens when I run "firefox", no errors just nothing. I can run as being root user though. I've removed ~/.phoenix (changed permissions before that) nothing helped. I emerged the binary version and this one does work.
closing this bug since mozilla-firebird no longer exists in portage. Rik, the problem you reported in comment 1 is duplicated in bug 42444.
