I simply cannot use it on my desktop with the plugins enabled. A standard set of mozilla plugins I might add. It works fine without them. Oh, i'm sure I could narrow done which of the 2 or three I use, but why does Fedora choke on it when Gentoo, Suse, and Mandriva don't? > Anyways... you tell me exactly what buildtime options you are using in > that screaming Gentoo version, including any out of tree patches that > maybe applied, and I'll make an effort to indentify the differences > between that and the build time setup at the firefox package in > Fedora. > > -jef > Sorry, I am not patching FF with anything out of the tree. It's a plain jane build, including nspluginwrapper, which, by all accounts should kill performance. It doesn't. It's much more responsive than fedora's base FF build. Look, again, this isn't 'let's compare distros'. It was an example of my personal experience in an effort to demonstrate my point. Which, of course was totally off the thread to begin with. I like fedora. I like gentoo. I happen to like gentoo's update mechanism and design better. So what? To each his own. I only wanted to point out that rolling updates are not the kiss of death some people make it out to be. -- Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
