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 resource://gre/modules/addons/WebExtensionBootstrap.js resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.py", line 415, in <module> main() File "/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.py", line 409, in main args.source, gre_path, base) File "/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.py", line 166, in precompile_cache errors.fatal('Error while running startup cache precompilation') File "/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/python/mozbuild/mozpack/errors.py", line 103, in fatal self._handle(self.FATAL, msg) File "/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/python/mozbuild/mozpack/errors.py", line 98, in _handle raise ErrorMessage(msg) mozpack.errors.ErrorMessage: Error: Error while running startup cache precompilation make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.mk:41: stage-package] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/ff/browser/installer' make: *** [/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/browser/build.mk:21: install] Error 2 * ERROR: www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1::gentoo failed (install phase):

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