|
|
| Running ${FULLPKGNAME} on OpenBSD
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads,
|
|
window placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is
|
|
recommended that you create a new profile and attempt to
|
|
reproduce the problem before filing bugs. To create a new profile,
|
|
start Firefox with the -ProfileManager switch, e.g.
|
|
firefox -ProfileManager, and click "Create Profile".
|
|
|
|
If Firefox doesn't start at all, try starting it with -safe-mode
|
|
switch, which disables extensions and themes for your session.
|
|
|
|
To disable anti-aliasing (xft) set GDK_USE_XFT=0 in the environment.
|
|
|
|
Using mailto: links
|
|
|
|
To enable mailto: links in Firefox to open in your mail program,
|
|
you may have to set a mailto protocol handler. Type "about:config"
|
|
in Firefox's URL text field. Type "mailto" in the filter. If there
|
|
is a string called "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", its value
|
|
names the application for mailto URLs. If present, right click,
|
|
choose Modify, and enter the path to your mail program, e.g.,
|
|
"${LOCALBASE}/bin/thunderbird" or "${LOCALBASE}/bin/kmail" (other
|
|
programs may work, but these two have been tested). If absent,
|
|
right click, choose New String. Set the name to
|
|
"network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" and the value to the path to
|
|
your mailer.
|
|
|
|
Plugins
|
|
|
|
Firefox looks for plugins in ~/.mozilla/plugins and
|
|
${TRUEPREFIX}/lib/mozilla/plugins.
|
|
If the environment variable MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH is specified, this
|
|
location will be overridden.
|
|
|
|
Enabling ECC cipher suites
|
|
|
|
Open the URL about:config and type security.ssl3 in the search
|
|
filter. This will bring up a list of all available cipher suites.
|
|
Double-click on any cipher to toggle its state. For example, to
|
|
enable TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, double-click on
|
|
security.ssl3.ecdhe_ecdsa_aes128_sha until its boolean entry in the
|
|
Value column changes to true.
|
|
|
|
Using CUPS and LPR for printing
|
|
|
|
Since version 3, Firefox uses the standard printing dialog from gtk+2.
|
|
In order to use CUPS for printing, you will need to install the cups
|
|
subpackage of gtk+2, i.e.:
|
|
|
|
# pkg_add gtk+2-cups
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
|
|
If you encounter crashes, you might want to build the debug FLAVOR of
|
|
this package, and run 'firefox -g' to run firefox inside gdb, so
|
|
that you can gather debugging logs and traces.
|
|
Bug reports without that information will be ignored.
