19 The in the ebuild:
20
21 >=media-video/gnome-mplayer-0.6.2
22 || ( =net-libs/xulrunner-1.8*
23 =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*
24 =www-client/seamonkey-1*
25 www-client/epiphany )
26
27 So if you don't want =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*, you can use
28 >=media-video/gnome-mplayer-0.6.2, or =www-client/seamonkey-1* or
29 www-client/epiphany or net-libs/xulrunner-1.8*.
