The outward appearance isn't any different except the different default theme.

For anyone having troubles launching urls from some app, here's some things I've figured out.
This is using the default script or the one attached to this bug report.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177996#c79
I replaced the /opt/firefox/firefox script and /usr/bin/firefox links to it. The original script with the .9rc install does work with these methods but the /usr/bin/firefox script (gentoo) needs to be changed to a link and point to /opt/firefox/firefox (or your source install location) no matter what way you do it. 
KDE apps will just need to know that "firefox" is the program to use to launch urls. I use:
| Code: | | /usr/bin/firefox %u |
Thunderbird needs this line in the file user.js
| Code: | $ cat .thunderbird/default/8chrctrs.slt/user.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
|
Anything else should be able to use one of these codes if the above doesn't work. This is from my X-chat url handler settings.
| Code: |
firefox -a firefox -remote 'openURL(%s,new-window)'
firefox -a firefox -remote 'openURL(%s,new-tab)'
firefox -a firefox -remote 'openURL(%s)'
|
And from the command line for example Gentoo in a new tab:
| Code: | | firefox -a firefox -remote 'openURL(http://www.gentoo.org,new-tab)' |
The "window not found" or other error must be related to the url launcher not knowing to use "firefox" to launch the address. I'm guessing that this is what the "-a firefox" is telling it.
I put the script I am using into debug mode to figure this out because all my urls were lauching fine from most apps but some people were having the "window" error when trying to launch urls from the command line. |

Am I the only one, with b0rked install? 
I started with a download of the gtk2+xft w/ installer package, and used the installer as root. Probably I didn't close all my windows apps before continuing with the installation  , since it's just not working at all as a normal user.
I tried:
running as a non-root user the installation above.
doing a separate instalation for the non-root user with the installer
unmerging 8.0-r2, and using the bugzilla ebuild for 0.9 (prior to that I downloaded the gtk2+xft w/o installer package.) still nada.
just unpacking and running as a non-root user the installer-less version
All these with the same result: it works for root, but for non-root user it just exits silently, w/o any complaint, error message, or else.
To be more accurate, it does say: No running windows found
but then again it says the exactly same thing for root as well ... like 1 sec before starting ...
Oh, if I have firefox started by root, and try to run it as non-root user (mozilla-launcher-1.12 - that was a prerequisite requred by the bugzilla ebuild), it says:
| Code: | /opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to find a running server.
No running windows found
|
And then still nothing, exits as if nothing would've had happened...

My friend was having the same problem with Firefox and I think he had to switch to 0.8 using gtk1 in order to make it work. However, the bright side is that 0.9 final is out now.  |

I'm not really planning on downgrading now ...  I remember, as 0.8 came out, I had some issues with that one as well ... They'll just go away sooner or later
BTW. All this was/is happening to me with the final version ... only some *grin* nice */grin* Admins decided, that there were too many topics on firefox, so they closed the topic with firefox 0.9.
So I guess this one counts as the "official topic" for 0.9 final as well

The new theme is absolutely beautiful to my eyes. The old theme was ameaturish and flat, whereas the new one looks polished and clear.

There's an ebuild on bugzilla ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53961 ).
As for my problem -  - and if anybody ecounters it: you should not run is as root the first time after installing. after emerge, make sure you run it first with a non-root user.

| Heh. Firefox isn't just evolving itself but it's slowly beginning to take over the web browser market. My source for that is here. |
