I will ask my team to review too, since it's not normal for > me to work with any of gecko-based browser ports. Up until today, I did not know, epiphany existed... But I'm very glad, that project had enough smarts NOT to ship yet another instance of the nspr tree :-) That said, I could not sleep too and dug into eliminating warnings in the firefox build (-Wall -Werror). Many of them are harmless, but there are nasty bugs too -- variables remaining uninitialized in some cases, pointers dumbed down into ints (a no-no on amd64) and then back into pointers. Also, due to some misconfiguration, firefox currently builds thinking, FreeBSD has no "long long". I'm not done with that yet, but plan to finish this weekend. Maybe, this will even stop the 64-bit firefox from going into the tight loops on occasion... -mi
