The following reply was made to PR ports/125993; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jeremy Messenger" <mezz7@cox.net> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, joe@zircon.seattle.wa.us Cc: Subject: Re: ports/125993: www/firefox3 is unusable Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:14:01 -0500 > You claim that you know about problems with firefox3.

And, I knew that it will be fixed soon when ahze comes back and it's rare by depend on what kind of plugins you have. I only get two to three users report for this and I can reproduce their problem. I am reinstall firefox3 with no lib/browser_plugins patch right now. If it works then I shall commit it with bump and note in UPDATING about that users will have to add plugins in its directory by manual for a bit while. ahze and I will be working on revamp the plugins directory by use www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi. > Therefore, I claim that since you do not provide documentation, the > product is BROKEN and needs to be marked as BROKEN to prevent peoplefrom > inadvertently doing the wrong thing. No need to, it does not broke by default unless you install depend on what kind of plugin. I only know one plugin that can cause crash, it's totem's web plugins so you can simple disable it in perference or deinstall it. > If you cannot have firefox2 and firefox3 installed on the same system, > please be EXPLICIT about it. It can be installed together. There is no problem other than minor related w/ user data in runtime. I don't know what exactly issue, thought, lacking info from Firefox's website.
