<br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all,<br> I wrote to the list a couple of weeks ago about Firefox continually<br>
crashing and got this detailed list of things I might try to see if I<br>could find a fix. As I'm not a sys admin or a programmer the list<br>scared me off a bit. However I've had a very bad week of Firefox<br>crashing many times every day so I really need to try and find a
<br>solution. This is the best set of ideas I've seen so far so I'm going<br>to try to do some of it today.<br><br> Again, for review, Firefox started crashing multiple times a day<br>sometime after I tried to make sure I had Java and Flash working.
<br><br> I'd like to ask some questions about the ideas that were given.<br>Please keep in mind that primarily I am using firefox-bin.<br><br>1) How do I turn java and/or java-script off for firefox-bin? Is it<br>just the setting in the Preferences panel?
<br><br>2) With respect to using Java in 64-bit Gentoo I am unsure of how to<br>configure my machine. If the OS is 64 bit but Firefox is 32-bit then<br>what is the correct setting?<br><br>lightning ~ # eselect java-vm list

With respect to the browser plugins I see this:<br><br>lightning ~ # eselect java-nsplugin list<br>Available 32-bit Java browser plugins<br> [1] emul-linux-x86-java-1.6 current<br>Available 64-bit Java browser plugins
<br><br>lightning ~ # eselect java-nsplugin show<br>Current Java browser plugin<br> (unset)<br><br>These setting just seem strange to me.</blockquote><div><br>they're ok, since there's no 64bit java-nsplugin. with firefox-bin you would not have problems loading java.
<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">More info follows about what is installed. Let me know whatever info<br>you need to better judge why my browsers crash all the time now.
<br><br>As for the ccache idea I really like the idea of keeping packages<br>around but not sure how I would use them correctly. For now I'll just<br>keep building stuff and see if I Can figure that out in parallel.</blockquote>
<div><br>ccache is needed to reduce the compilation time of packages. the portage feature to package is another thing.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
