From: Joe Kelsey To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, joe@zircon.seattle.wa.us Cc: Subject: Re: ports/125993: www/firefox3 is unusable Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:03:32 -0700 You claim that you know about problems with firefox3. Yet, there is no information anywhere on the FreeBSD website which describes the pitfals and solutions required to use the product. Therefore, I claim that since you do not provide documentation, the product is BROKEN and needs to be marked as BROKEN to prevent people from inadvertently doing the wrong thing. If you cannot have firefox2 and firefox3 installed on the same system, please be EXPLICIT about it. If you need to perform special actions in order to enable proper functioning of plugins in firefox3, please be EXPLICIT about it. All you really need to do is put a link in UPDATING to let people know where to find the actual information. There is NOTHING in the release notes about anything that you need to do to make plugins work. Where is this information kept? Why doesn't UPDATING have an explicit reference? Why is there no information at all about known problems anywhere in the documentation? ?Joe
