[MAC] How To Install Firefox ESR V52 64bit
To compile the source version of Firefox ESR, issue:
Be aware that non-ESR versions are not getting stabilized.
Emerging the source version of Firefox can be a long process; a pre-compiled (binary) version does exist in the Gentoo repository, however users of the pre-built package should note the warning below and this message. To emerge the Firefox binary, issue:
The disadvantage of using pre-compiled www-client/firefox-bin package is that almost all of the USE flags in the list above cannot be set. Be aware that setting these flags while using this package will not alter the binary.
Configuration
Running under Wayland
Since Firefox 65, it is possible to run Firefox natively under Wayland by launching it with the GDK_BACKEND=wayland environment variable set after having emerged Firefox with the USE flag wayland enabled. From a terminal:
To set Firefox to always open using the Wayland backend, set the following environment variable in the user's shell. Bash is the default user shell on Gentoo systems:
~/.bash_profileEnabling multitouch
Xinput2 scrolling
This brings touch scrolling and multitouch support for Firefox:
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2environment variable has to be set to a value of 1 in /etc/env.d/80firefox, or just before launching firefox in a shell. for example:
This also eliminates the predefined scroll step size for touchpad scrolling! All scrolling will be really smooth.
Wacom tablets/touchscreens may need extra configuration so they emit true touch events for X.
Multitouch zoom
This only works when the multitouch events reach Firefox, therefore the Xinput2 activation above has to be done first.
| Description | about:config option | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Multitouch activation | gestures.enable_single_finger_input | False |
| Zoom in | browser.gesture.pinch.in | cmd_fullZoomReduce |
| Zoom out | browser.gesture.pinch.out | cmd_fullZoomEnlarge |
Middle mouse scroll (autoscroll)
Traditionally in Linux, the middle mouse button is used to paste the currently selected (highlighted) text into a text field. On Windows systems, the middle mouse button in Firefox is used for click-and-drag scrolling up and down the page. This functionality can be enabled in Firefox by opening about:config and setting the following value[1]:
general.autoScroll = true
Middle click-and-drag scrolling should now be enabled.
Although not necessary, sometimes it is desirable to disable all other middle-click functionality within Firefox when using click-and-drap scrolling. Open about:config and set the following values to disable middle-click functionality:
middlemouse.contentLoadURL = falsemiddlemouse.openNewWindow = falsemiddlemouse.paste = false
Threads
Firefox >= 54 has 4 threads enabled by default. Threads can be adjusted by modifying the following in the about:config interface:
| Description | about:config option | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Increase the threads | dom.ipc.processCount | N |
Firefox Esr 32-bit
Where N is an integer number.
Audio backend
Firefox's cubeb audio library supports a number of different backends[2][3].
| Description | about:config option | Value |
|---|---|---|
| JACK | media.cubeb.backend | jack |
Disabling percent-encoding
Normally, URLs that are copied from the address bar get percent-encoded. This may cause an annoyance when certain non-Latin symbols (such as Cyrillic) get encoded, as they become unreadable to humans.
To disable percent-encoding when copying from the address bar, set the about:config option network.standard-url.escape-utf8 to false.
Unfortunately Firefox does not support non-Latin symbols in anchors, those remain encoded (not percent-encoded, though).
Disable enforced digital signatures verification in Firefox >=48
This concerns mandatory add-ons signature in Firefox and can lead to security issues.
