1 do you have started mozilla-firefox or mozilla-firefox-bin?! the compiled
2 mozilla-firefox starts with mozilla-firefox while the 32bit precompiled with
3 mozilla-firefox-bin. use the lauch or the console to start the compiled
4 version. after starting they both have the same process name (firefox-bin)
5 and cannot be used at the same time in the same userspace.
6 recompile firefox with a language option. i don't see any language
7 compiled.... try setting this into make.conf:
8
9 LINGUAS="en en_GB en_US xxxx" where xxxx is your localization and then
10 rebuild firefox. the linguas will then build all the future packages that
11 build localization for your system. (it may not be needed but it's good to
12 have a system localized and stripped of other useless linguas.)
13 if it says it needs flash8 then flash9 is not loaded as an extension. see
14 the nspluginwrapper part to add the extension. maybe you could have to
15 manually link the the plugin into the mozilla directory plugins if
16 nspluginwrapper cannot do it.
17 after that you restart firefox and try youtube. if it makes you see the
18 videos then java and flash are working. if you miss the audio then recompile
19 the emul-x86 of alsa.
