Re: does anyone have a working mozilla firefox-74.0 on 9.0 amd64?

Hi Greg,

Mine works fine. However, my system is an upgraded one from 8.1 to 9.0 if it makes a difference. Then I installed firefox-74.0 and removed 68 (I guess that was its version). On the first run it complained about libepoxy like in this mail:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2020/01/29/msg030382.html

So I followed that up to the solution which was to remove the installed libepoxy package:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2020/01/29/msg030384.html

It worked out indeed, and since then firefox-74.0 runs just fine.

Best regards,
r0ller

So, does anyone have a working mozilla firefox-74.0 on 9.0 amd64?
I've been rebuilding another amd64 system starting with a stock 9.0
install, and I decided I should try firefox, since I haven't tried it in
a very long time, so I just used "pkgin install firefox" to try....

However it just dumps core when I start it:

(No debugging symbols found in /usr/pkg/lib/firefox/firefox)
(gdb) run
