I tried it, and for good measure, did some spelunking in the
.configure file in the firefox tarball. I have some questions, before
possibly tweaking the Firefox ebuild and/or .configure on my machine...
--enable-application=xulrunner
will Firefox run without this?
--enable-pango
will Firefox run without this? I have the "moznopango" flag set, which
is supposed to speed things up, but about:buildconfig indicates that
pango is enabled.
--disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --disable-install-strip
Why? I thought most packages stripped code after install.
--enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2
will Firefox run without this?
--enable-oji
will Firefox run without this? And what is "oji"? I can't find any
mention of what it does.
--enable-mathml
I don't really need it right now.
--enable-storage
will Firefox run without this? The help says...
"Enable mozStorage module and related components". Can someone please
give a short explanation in plain English what this does?
--disable-ogg
One thing I might consider enabling. Is there a problem with Firefox's
ogg support, or any other reason to disable it?
