Re: Installing FF 52 from pkgsrc: "stable" version instead of nightly

To add to what jak said, it is the stable version. It just lacks the trademarked Mozilla stuff like their logo.

There was some drama in the past which resulted in this being a build option, you can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_software_rebranded_by_Debian#Firefox_issue_resolution

I thought the nightly version is some kind of development/testing version.

The reason for my question is that the version in pkgsrc is really very unstable and crashes for no appearent reason. So next step was to test the official "release" version of FF.

I'm rebuilding it as we speak with the suggested option so I'm hoping that it's a bit more than just a logo thing.

Thanks for the help anyway and I'll be back when it's finished building (NetBSD on a not very fast laptop).

Regards,
Marco
