The following reply was made to PR ports/125993; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Joe Kelsey <joe@zircon.seattle.wa.us> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, joe@zircon.seattle.wa.us Cc: Subject: Re: ports/125993: www/firefox3 is unusable Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:22:31 -0700 OK. I recently spent condiserable time because mplayer stopped working on my system. In order to watch movies, I spent a lot of time getting totem to operate correctly, which meant that I aalso had to figure out the whole Nautilus mess. I absolutely HATE nautilus, but I managed to get it to the point where it does not replace my xphoon background with stupid colors. I have to start the "File Browser" after logging in to my gnome desktop. I really want to nuke all of that nautilus crap, but the hald stuff does work nicely. Now, since totem USED to work flawlessly in firefox2, but it causes a coredump in forefox3, that means that firefox3 is BROKEN. I am really sorry that it took you 3 weeks to notice that firefox3 was broken, but I noticed the firest day it was released and submitted a PR. Just because you don't pay attention to it does not matter to me. I reported that totem core dumps firefox3 immediately. I cannot find any explanation anywhere which describes this so-called manual process to install plugins. If there was an explanation anywhere, I would follow the directions immediately and do it. No plugins work in firefox3. Totem does not work. Gnash does not work. No plugin that I can find works. Therefore, forefox3 is BROKEN. Either explain how we can fix the brokenness, or remove firefox3. I am really tired of watching the system coredump. I have submitted PRs with debugging information attached. No one has responded to any of them. Either respond to them and tell me how to fix the problems, or remove firefox3. /Joe
