 |
|
Some time ago, Mozilla decided to remove MNG support for the browser. I know that to be able to see MNG I have to emerge "libmng". But even though I have emerged it, and have Mozilla emerged, it still doesn't display the MNG graphics. My question is how can I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance. |

| In order to see MNG in mozilla you need to patch the source. Check out mngzilla.sourceforge.net for instructions and the patch. If you would like I can post the ebuild I made for mozilla 1.6 to add in mng. |

| It was removed because the plugin that is used for that purpose was "too big", at least that is what I have been told. Apparently the people who develop MNG's are trying to address this problem |
