Apologies guys if i didn't make it clear. I wanted to remove firefox. |
| 7 |
The -bin version i was talking of, was the xulrunner-bin package. And, |
| 8 |
by the way i agree that the bin version is really worse-off than |
| 9 |
firefox. |

If you disable the "ia32" use flag. Unless ofcourse, if you are talking |
| 16 |
of no-multilib profile. IIRC 64-bit support was made available for opera |
| 17 |
sometime in the past few months (somewhere along the 9.x series). |

I would love to use mplayerplug-in, only i wish it worked well for me. |
| 36 |
I would be glad if somebody could please suggest the process to get |
| 37 |
mplayerplug-in working with opera. My issues have been that i dont get |
| 38 |
the control buttons working and that is after i have employed a few |
| 39 |
hooks to enable the plugin. FWIW the erstwhile gentoo-wiki page (i dont |
| 40 |
the current status) on opera also suggested to use gecko-mediaplayer. |
