Mozilla 1.5, Firebird 0.7, Thunderbird 0.3 are out !

How is everyone else doing with extensions? My copy of firebird 0.7 gets really flaky after loading extensions. Right now, my browser refuses to close by any other way but "file > quit." Anybody else facing this? The main reason I switched to this browser is because of the extensions.

Working Thunderbird 0.3 ebuild

A lot of Thunderbird 0.3 ebuilds (I've seen three different ones) are making a few mistakes. For those who don't want to read on, here's the link to the (only one as far as I know that is) working 0.3 ebuild:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=19340

To get this working, first save this to /usr/local/portage/net-mail/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-0.3.ebuild

Then:

Thanks for the additional comments, godot! I tend to put the instructions up with every ebuild I submit so as to avoid the 20 similar "it doesn't work, what do I do" posts by people who've never tried this before.

I see by the screen shots that when you say 'ugly fonts' you mean that it's using the GTK1 toolkit. Either set USE=gtk2 in make.conf or do

yeah but you need -gtk2
-gtk won't do anything with mozilla-firebird. If you want it to build with GTK1 (or notugly fonts as you put it) then do:

Those who have tried the new Mozilla or Firebird: any of you having any problems with disappearing bookmarks?

There are now several bug reports describing this exact behaviour -- quitting Mozilla leads to deletion of bookmarks.html. Most reports concern the OS X version of Mozilla (including a recent Camino), but there's at least one report of this with a Linux version and Firebird. I've seen it myself on OS X with Mozilla -- quitting the program makes bookmarks.html disappear altogether.

You may want to make sure your backup of bookmarks.html is up to date, just in case....

No, but i have noticed that java runs like crap now, i even tried unmerging blackdown, and re-merging, i also tried using sun's sdk of 1.4.2 and it sluggish and buttons on dialog boxes disappear.

When I do ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pu mozilla-firebird it lists all of these as dependencies.

viperlin · Veteran Joined: 15 Apr 2003 Posts: 1319 Location: UK

the -u means upgrade and it will list all upgrades (which i sugest you do anyway)

use "emerge /usr/portage/net-www/mozilla-firebird/mozilla-firebird-0.7.ebuild -p"

or the accept keywords wil also work ,remove the -u

i sugest you upgrade everything else too

I tested the ebuilds from the ~x86 portage tree and they work fine, with one exception :

I can launch Thunderbird once, create the profile and everything, but after I quit then it won't run again. I traced this to the Enigmail compiled-in extension. Solutions :

1- (if you didn't compile it yet) compile with USE=-crypt
2- (if you already compiled it) delete the XUL.mfasl profile file, run Thunderbird, disable the Enigmail extension

If you need Enigmail, you should (re)install it as root from the Enigmail site using the provided xpi files.
