Subject: [gentoo-amd64] firefox-bin vs. firefox
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 09:41:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200703090941.25631.yuval@avramzon.net> (raw)

I have been using firefox-bin for historical reasons (flash plugin), but then 
found out I could also use nspluginwrapper for that. 
Then I installed firefox from source (a.k.a. Bon Echo), but found out it 
behaved differently from firefox-bin:
1) fonts look much uglier. Having the same settings (including gtk-chtheme) 
gives different results, firefox-bin being preferable. 
2) Layering bug - at least at one site, I saw that content with a lower 
z-index overlays content with higher z-index.

I couldn't find anything of help in the bugs.gentoo.org database nor the 
changelog - can someone refer me to the relevant info on this?

I would much like to work on my source compiled binaries, but it seems 
inferior.. is it?
