I have a build of Firefox in progress and see no use of /tmp. Not sure about what Linux uses tmpfs for, so probably not relevant. In any case, Firefox takes about 2.25 hours to build on my 9.5 year old ThinkPad T520. That is about less than for many ports. Libreoffice takes about 4 hours and Chromium took over 13 hours the last time I built it. That was months ago as I have banished it for its egregious data collection, not to mention over half a day to build. Still, building Firefox does take time (computer's, not mine) and resources. I'm just confused as to what the audio system selection should make a difference as long as it works for wired audio. I use an external Bluetooth transmitter for audio out on my old, Bluetooth free laptop, so I am likely missing something fundamental. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 On Tue, Sep 15, 2020 at 9:50 AM Ralf Mardorf <ralf-mardorf@riseup.net> wrote: > On Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:35:58 +0200, Ralf Mardorf wrote: > >disclaimer: My domain is audio, but I'm a Linux power user, so this > >hint might be useless for FreeBSD. > > > >It's possible to compile Firefox with > > > > ac_add_options --enable-jack > > > >to enable support for the jack sound server.
