Summary: firefox-24.0xulrunner/firefox-24.0

Igor, I have built xulrunner/firefox, not firefox standalone. If you wish, I can do that part. I have to rebuild, because I do not like the times (almost double the previous ones), and am going to reboot everything.

OK, Igor. Now I have built again xulrunner and firefox linked to xulrunner, not the standalone. It seems that this version takes much more memory to link libxul. Shall I proceed with this part and you do the standalone one? I informed about it, because had started this part and only that part, before Bruce opened the ticket, but no problem at all if you have everything done already.

comment:5 by Igor Živković, 11 years ago

Sure Fernando, I'll do the standalone Firefox tomorrow.

Thanks, Igor.

Updates to xulrunner-24.0 and firefox-24.0 linked to xulrunner. Partially fixed at 11850.

Forgot to mention that the cairo patch was included upstream, so I removed, but surely you already know.

comment:8 by Igor Živković, 11 years ago

Nice, did you compile it with --enable-gstreamer maybe? H.264 video playback didn't work for me in version 23 but is supposed to work ok in 24.

comment:9 by Fernando de Oliveira, 11 years ago

Yes, I did. But did not test this point. If you send me a link, I could test.

comment:11 by Fernando de Oliveira, 11 years ago

No, did not work. WebM did work. Is the x264 just for encoding? I remember that I used to install it, some years ago, cannot recall why.

comment:12 by Igor Živković, 11 years ago

We are probably missing something in the instructions or some other gstreamer plugins package needs to be installed. I'll have a look in my next build.

comment:13 by Fernando de Oliveira, 11 years ago

I have tested in ubuntu and mozilla firefox binary and the result is the same...

comment:14 by Fernando de Oliveira, 11 years ago

It works! Just set "media.gstreamer.enabled" to true in about:config.

comment:15 by Igor Živković, 11 years ago

Great! Do you want to add the note to the book instructions? Maybe just mentioning it in mozconfig comment.

comment:16 by Fernando de Oliveira, 11 years ago

Probably, just in mozconfig is enough. And if by any chance users complain, we would rethink about a note.

I was reading some comments in the bug, before replying:

In this comment: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799318#c32

there was a possible problem:

"Currently, if you don't have gstreamer installed or have a different version than it was built for then Firefox won't start at all. This is being fixed in bug 859199 after which point it'll be added to Nightly builds in some form."

But bug 859199 apparently was closed.

Then, I will add the comment later, when I update gparted, if you had not done it before, when updating ff standalone, OK?

comment:17 by Igor Živković, 11 years ago

Sure :-)

comment:18 by Fernando de Oliveira, 11 years ago

Igor: comment about gstreamer in about:config (firefox and xulrunner) at revision 11854.
