Re: firefox3 totally unusable



I noticed the same problem on my newly built firefox 3.

I built and installed firefox3 from the new stable pkgsrc-2008Q2 branch,

To begin with, it wants me to agree with a EULA.

After that, it declares half my extensions "incompatible".

Then it doesn't render pages at all, or if it does, uses the numbered
boxes for many letters like http://www.falu.nl/~rhialto/firefox3.png.

www.netbsd.org turns into an empty "untitled" page, for instance.

On stdout it spits out scores of messages like

(firefox-bin:7070): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly
output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='Trebuchet MS Bold Italic
10.03125', text=' '

Useless.
