I've ripped out building against a system installed
xulrunner. I'm going to work on xulrunner next and
come back to Firefox

    35     <para>With the introduction of Firefox-3.x, the
    36     <application>pkgconfig</application> files for the Gecko engine (and for
    37     <application>NSS</application> and <application>NSPR</application>) are not
    38     installed.  This means that applications such as <application>Yelp
    39     </application> can no longer be built against firefox, and must instead be
    40     built against Xulrunner (which is actually the same code, but built in a
    41     different way).  If you wish to build other packages which use Gecko (of the
    42     applications in this book, probably only the gnome applications
    43     will recognize this version of Xulrunner), build <xref linkend="xulrunner"/>
    44     first.</para>

    46    <tip>
    47     <para>Firefox is updated frequently as new vulnerabilities are found.
    48     Consult
    49     <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/">mozilla security</ulink>
    50     for details of what is fixed in newer releases.  The editors cannot guess
    51     what will differ in newer versions: it should be straightforward to upgrade
    52     within the same series (3.6), but it is always possible that newer versions
    53     will have increased dependencies, or that something using the nss or gecko
    54     libraries will break.  If you update, begin by updating
    55     <application>Xulrunner</application> if you use that, then update Firefox
    56    (ensuring the libxul-sdk option points to the new version).</para>

    359     <para>If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure
    360     a default mail client, you can add a configuration parameter to
    361     <application>Firefox</application> so that an email client will start
    362     when you click on a <systemitem role='url'>mailto:</systemitem> URL.
    363     There are two parameters you need to check. The procedure to check or
    364     modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
    365     instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
    366     parameters.</para>
    367 
    368     <para>First, open the configuration dialog by entering
    369     <systemitem role='url'>about:config</systemitem> in the address bar. This
    370     will display a list of the configuration preferences and information
    371     related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter
    372     search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
    373     can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
    374     (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
    375     and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
    376     choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating
    377     new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
    378     <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
    379     fields when prompted.</para>
    380 
    381     <para>The two configuration preference items you need to check so that
    382     <application>Firefox</application> uses a specified default mail client
    383     are the <parameter>network.protocol-handler.external.mailto</parameter>
    384     which should be set to <option>True</option> and the
    385     <parameter>network.protocol-handler.app.mailto</parameter> which should
    386     be set to the path of the desired mail client, e.g.,
    387     <option>/usr/bin/thunderbird</option>.</para>

    427     to the files in the default plugin directory (you should link to the actual

    429     in the default plugin directory to the
    430     <application>Firefox</application> plugin directory. An example of creating
