Has anyone gotten vimperator working with Firefox 4.0b? I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using Arch x86_64 if that makes any difference.

Vimperator-hg is the only one compatible with FF4, and it currently needs firefox>=4.0b8pre. So you need to use either a nighly or the hg version.

In the vimperator-hg PKGBUILD, you need to change $version_firefox to 4.0b8pre so it gets installed into the right directory.

Now at 4.0b8. Some highlights include:

Firefox button (Menubar replacement)
Tab-modal dialog boxes
New OpenType font features (http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/11/firefo … e-support/)
Bugfixes!
More bugs!

Not a single one of my plugins is working in this version

If it makes a difference 4.0beta9 came out today and none of my extensions work in that either although not tested plugins

Also where does this program install to?

edit: any reason why it conflicts with regular firefox 3.x?

Use about:config to set "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b" to boolean false.

There's no beta 9. Trunk (mozilla-central) is at b9pre.

Just convenience for me, I suppose. I'll rebuild it renamed.

Excellant! I can use firefox4 again. Thank you.

bonus: I learned how to use quotes

Garbee · 2010-12-16 00:47:37

Thanks for making this into a Repo. I am tired of using the AUR package.

Docky refuses to associate Firefox with its launcher when I rename it to firefox-beta. I'll keep the conflict for now.

Use about:config to set "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b" to boolean false.

Alternatively, install Mozilla's Addon Compatibility-Reporter.

I tried using this repo, and I get an Sqlite>=3.7.4 dependency that cannot be resolved. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

pacman -Syu with an up-to-date mirror

There are no updates to my mirrors. and this is a fresh install with the Gnome DE.

heftig · 2010-12-22 05:17:19

Try the http://mirrors.kernel.org mirror.

The trunk builds now disable system-cairo as it doesn't build anymore.

The built-in cairo has been patched with the lcd-filter and respect-fontconfig patches. Beware that this means fontconfig's hint style setting is preferred to anything set via gconf or xrdb.

heftig · 2011-01-11 09:03:36

Updated to beta 9 build 1. Removed the cairo-respect-fontconfig patch to match behavior of cairo in the repos.

Is anyone of you getting:

configure: error: application: invalid feature name
*** Fix above errors and then restart with               "make -f client.mk build"
make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1

using firefox-pgo-beta AUR, but I think it doesn't matter how you get your build. It's 4 beta 9. It's this place in configure script:

  -enable-* | --enable-*)
    ac_feature=`echo $ac_option|sed -e 's/-*enable-//' -e 's/=.*//'`
    echo ac_feature $ac_feature
    echo sedist: `echo $ac_feature| sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]//g'`
    # Reject names that are not valid shell variable names.
    if test -n "`echo $ac_feature| sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]//g'`"; then
      { echo "configure: error: $ac_feature: invalid feature name" 1>&2; exit 1; }
    fi

I tried to debug it how so primitive place could fail -- wrong sed line or some other bug?

A wrong option in the mozconfig file.

taavi · 2011-01-19 08:39:59

--enable-application=browser

Seems legit to me.

heftig · 2011-02-02 03:44:42

I moved my repository to pkgbuild.com.

Ramses de Norre · 2011-02-02 22:35:41

Is the transition still in progress?

-11 seems to segfault a lot (mostly at Facebook). Any way to get -10 for x64 back on your site?

heftig · 2011-02-04 23:34:13

Sorry, I got rid of my old builds.

I'm in the process of rebuilding beta 11. If the new version doesn't work, you can download the source package from my site, and build beta 10 yourself (pkgver=4.0b10, _build=1).

jskier · 2011-02-05 14:21:45

Thanks hefig, your revision seems to work- also much thanks to you for your work on this package. I've normally kept the old ones, but for whatever reason purged them last week.

I've been interested in your source package for awhile now. EDIT- I see where it as at now

libevent 2.0-compatible package I managed to save before pkgbuild.com went down:

ngoonee · 2011-02-09 00:14:43

Quick question (from a tester of firefox-pgo-beta), what modifications were needed to make it libevent 2.0 compatible?

Arch Linux
