When opening a file browser window under swiftfox or flock, I get unreadable fonts (all caracters are squared, almost all the same).
This looks to happen under Switffox and Flock, however it works with firefox.
Note that I have Arch 64 bits, with 32 bits libs installed for some applications.
Any hint where to search ?

What you want to do is type about:config in the URL, then dialog in the filter window. Change the entry print.use_native_file_dialog to false. That's worked for me for the 2.x swiftfox versions.
I have not been able to get the 3.x betas to work, however, and the font problem is all over in those versions - menus and the main window both. It makes the browser unusable to me. I think that the whole font problem relates to the pango (lib32-pango) library somehow, but haven't had the time to track it down to know for sure.
Hope that you can at least the 2.x version working - good luck!

My "print.use_native_file_dialog" is already set to false in my swiftfox config.
I tried, true or false, no effect

ok,
I switched back to firefox wihch is an ELF64bits and file browsing worked fine again.
The difference is that my swiftfox or Flock were ELF32bits version.
- Is there any swiftfox for 64 bits ?
- swiftfox installation binary overwrite firefox, this is bad..
It seems that GTK browser used by switftfox/ELF32 does not like to load "im-cedilla"/ELF64 lib and others from GTK2.0. This makes sense.
So, may be I should also install a GTK2.0/ELF32, but I did not found it in AUR, and I don't want to overwrite the GTK/ELF64.
Any hint ?

For 32-bit: /var/abs/community/lib32/lib32-gtk2

Janax,
Are you sure the path to GTK2 is correct in bin32-swiftfox-athlon64 2.0.0.11-1 ?
It looks to search his libs in /usr/lib....; instead of /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/
