1 Hi,
2
3 I am trying to remove firefox from my system and stick with only opera.
4 However, i have run into a dilemma
5
6 % equery d mozilla-firefox
7 [ Searching for packages depending on www-client/mozilla-firefox... ]
8 app-text/acroread-8.1.3 (x86 & !minimal? www-client/mozilla-firefox)
9 net-news/liferea-1.4.15 (!xulrunner & firefox? =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
10 net-www/gecko-mediaplayer-0.6.3 (=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
11
12 Clearly shows that gecko-mediaplayer depends on firefox. However, that is
13 the only media-plugin which has really worked for me with opera. So,
14 what I want to do is keep gecko-mediaplayer but remove firefox.
15
16 Any workaround possible?
