Created attachment 420062 [details] Empty firefox window I've got a hybrid (ATI+Intel) graphics laptop and used open drivers most of the time, but yesterday I've managed to get fglrx running. Everything is nice and smooth except firefox which seems to link against mesa: $ firefox Can't find symbol 'EGLImageTargetRenderbufferStorageOES'.

As far as I know fglrx does not provide EGL interface, so the problem must be in firefox assuming it's present and linking against it by default.

Problem seems to be in .ebuild file at line 239: use egl && mozconfig_annotate 'Enable EGL as GL provider' --with-gl-provider=EGL Why this is unconditional?
I altered ebuild and tried to compile without egl (--with-gl-provider=GLX), but the result is the same. Meanwhile, it turned out that egl is required by X server! # USE="-egl" emerge mesa Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] media-libs/mesa-9999 USE="-egl*" !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: media-libs/mesa:0 (media-libs/mesa-9999:0/0::ROKO__, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by media-libs/mesa (Argument) (media-libs/mesa-9999:0/0::ROKO__, installed) pulled in by >=media-libs/mesa-10.3.4-r1[egl,gbm] required by (x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4-r5:0/1.16.1::gentoo, installed) ^^^ Also, if I do "eselect opengl set 1" (which sets symlinks to mesa), firefox works properly. So it seems to be fglrx-related stuff...
I encountered the very same issue, disabling the "hwaccel" and "egl" use flags proved to be a sensible workaround (disabling egl might be unecessary). By the way xela, you can disable use flags on a per package basis : # euse -p www-client/firefox -D egl hwaccell (euse is part of the gentoolkit ebuild).
I am also experiencing the same problem. I could avoid the blank screen by disabling hardware acceleration in firefox preferences (You can somehow view pages if you right click on the blank space). Hardware acceleration was working fine with ati-drivers and firefox 40. Is there any way around this issue that still uses hardware acceleration?
Created attachment 429084 [details] emerge --info Still happens for www-client/firefox-45.0.1 and media-libs/mesa-11.1.2-r1. Turning off the hwaccel use flag for firefox fixes the problem. Thanks Avner, for the right-click trick, but I still couldn't see enough to turn off the hardware acceleration in the preferences panel. I ended up recompiling it.
I am also experiencing this problem, is there a fix planned?
*** Bug 590716 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I reported a separate bug (590716) which turned out to the this same one, thanks to everyone who provided additional information, its looking so much less mysterious now. Note that turning off hwaccel does seem to slow firefox down noticeably.
ati-drivers is dead, and will not be supported for X.
