Thanks for the info (should have looked at bugzilla). Any idea why the
gentoo devel team are so slow in responding to this rather serious issue?
For the first time in 3 years I am installing firefox from the moz site
and uninstalling the ebuild - I recommand everyone do that ASAP until
the gentoo devel wake up and realize how serious this is and fix the
ebuild.
You know, you are more than welcome to contribute an ebuild for the new firefox
rather than bitching that we're too slow. As for why we're so slow (as you put
it...didn't the new version just come out yesterday?), the primary maintainer
for all of the Mozilla stuff (firefox, mozilla, seamonkey, thunderbird, etc.)
quit about 2 weeks ago. We've been trying to find someone to step up and take
permanent maintainership, but until then, the "backup maintainers" are busy
people and will get to it when they have time.
