 |
|
Also firefox was removed from the menu.
| Code: |
$ uname -a
Linux fir 4.14.39-calculate #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 4 09:24:36 UTC 2018 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
|
Running MATE Desktop Environment 1.18.0.
The only way I have to start firefox now is to go to the command line and type:
When firefox comes up, I get the developer edition.
Anyway to get normal firefox back? |

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software since this isn't related to Gentoo.

Sounds like you need the branding (or perhaps -bindist) USE-flag, to use official Mozilla branding (which means you can't distribute binaries off-site.)
Check the output of: | Code: | | emerge -pv www-client/firefox |
You might also find this topic useful. |

walterbyrd,
gets you the developer edition. You should have a blue icon called Aroura(sp) that runs your firefox.
If you want firefox with the logo and build it yourself, you must set for firefox.
Thunderbird does something similar.
If you set -bindist globally you will get non-distributable version of other packages too as potentially patent encumbered code will be installed.
Its safe to use -bindist on firefox and or thunderbird. Most of the other things affected by the bindist USE flag need it to be set consistently.

Thank you. I did not know that the firefox developer edition was called "Aurora"
I found the icon, and put it on my toolbar.
I suppose I will just keep using the developer edition. Seems to work okay.
Thank you again. |
