bsd@haps.ca has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to gecko@FreeBSD.org: Bug 220581: www/firefox depends on kitchen sink https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220581 --- Description --- More recent firefox build removed toolkit option (April 11, 438318 by jbeich) so there is no way to build it without pulling in the entire linux/freedesktop world. That is due entirely to gtk3's tightly coupled integration with atk which demands dbus. So the firefox 'dbus' option is totally irrelevant now since it is always pulled in. Is gtk3 really that necessary? If so it should be patched to remove the atk/dbus dependency, or just add gtk2 support back to FF.help
