|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
| 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
|
|
${TRUEPREFIX}/lib/mozilla/plugins.
|
|
If the environment variable MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH is specified, this
|
|
location will be overridden.
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
If you encounter crashes, you might want to build the debug FLAVOR of
|
|
this package, and run firefox inside gdb, so that you can gather
|
|
debugging logs and traces (for all threads!).
|
|
Bug reports without that information will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
KerberosV support
|
|
=================
|
|
To use Kerberized Firefox, first manually install the "heimdal" package
|
|
and configure the Kerberos client.
|
|
|
|
Firefox will load the libraries at runtime if required. On OpenBSD, they
|
|
are installed in a non-standard location; to allow Firefox to find them,
|
|
either set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LOCALBASE}/heimdal/lib in your environment
|
|
(possibly via a shell alias or wrapper script if you only want to
|
|
set this for Firefox), or modify 'shlib_dirs' in /etc/rc.conf.local.
|
|
|
|
To instruct Firefox to use Kerberos for specific domains, open
|
|
'about:config' and modify the following key:
|
|
|
|
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris: .example.com
|
