[gentoo-user] Mozilla-Firefox 3.5.1 blank preferences pane

[Paul Hartman]

Hi,

I just upgraded to mozilla-firefox-3.5.1 (from portage, ~amd64),
having previously used 3.0x, and it seems to work except for one big
problem: when I open the preferences pane, it is blank. Just an empty
window with a grey background. Has anyone else got this problem?

Paul

Works here, as did 3.5.0. That sounds like a GTK problem, have you tried
revdep-rebuild?

Yeah, but it didn't find anything that needed rebuilding. I did just
install a new gtk+ yesterday, though. Maybe I'll try reverting back to
the previous version and see what happens. Thanks.

Strangely, it works when I run Firefox in KDE4 but not in LXDE. Must
have something to do with GTK styles/themes or something.

I downgraded from gtk+-2.16.5 back to gtk+-2.16.1 and now it works
normally. I will try to upgrade gtk+ again and if problem reoccurs
I'll file a bug. Thanks.

Try some other gtk engine.
