| 5 | | If you use Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime (for music or video, I guess) or Tidal there was a crash with firefox-68.5.0esr. This should be fixed in 68.6.0esr. |

| 7 | | == Certificate Problems == |
| 8 | | |
| 9 | | With some sites, particularly sourceforge, from time to time firefox will report certificate problems and refuse to connect. |
| 10 | | The last time this happened to me was after the machine had crashed and rebooted. Before that it was working fine, no software in the trust/certs area had been updated. In about:config, changing security.pki.distrust_ca_policy to 0 fixed this. |

| 12 | | == Note for people using package management == |
| 13 | | |
| 14 | | Up until firefox-58, the libraries were installed in /usr/lib/firefox-NN.0{,.N}. |
| 15 | | But with firefox-59 they are now installed in /usr/lib/firefox. This might impact you when you upgrade after 59 (some package managers might gripe about overwriting existing files). |
| 16 | | |
| 17 | | == Building with gtk+-3 == |
| 18 | | |
| 19 | | (ken: deleted my old comments, gtk3 is now the default and since at least ff44 it has been fine, |
| 20 | | except that gtk > 3.19 has required a patch to restore scrollbars - the patches have been in the book) |
| 21 | | |
| 22 | | == Broken scrollbars with gtk+-3 in BLFS-7.10 == |
| 23 | | |
| 24 | | On some machines, the gtk3 scrollbars (thin, slider with curved ends) were replaced by gtk2-style bars with arrows at their end which could be clicked, but '''without''' any button on the slider - it could still be dragged, but there was no visual indication of where you were in the page. |
| 25 | | |
| 26 | | This was eventually identified as a ''theme'' problem - e.g. xfce-winter is now inadequate. A workaround is to install gnome-themes-standard and to edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to contain |
| 27 | | |
| 28 | | {{{ |
| 29 | | [Settings] |
| 30 | | gtk-theme-name=Adwaita |
| 31 | | |
| 32 | | }}} |
| 33 | | |
| 34 | | Any other settings in that file are probably ok. |
