DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
FFMPEG=on: FFmpeg support (WMA, AIFF, AC3, APE...)
LIBPROXY=off: Proxy support via libproxy
LTO=off: Use Link-Time Optimization
OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=on: Use extra compiler optimizations
PROFILE=on: Build with profiling support
TEST=off: Build and/or run tests
====> Extra cubeb audio backends (OSS is always available)
ALSA=off: ALSA audio architecture support
JACK=on: JACK audio server support
PULSEAUDIO=on: PulseAudio sound server support
SNDIO=on: Sndio audio support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- Options name:
- www_firefox
- USES:
- tar:xz compiler:c++17-lang cpe gl gmake gnome iconv localbase perl5 pkgconfig python:3.6+,build desktop-file-utils jpeg
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- ## Missing features
Some features found on Windows, macOS and Linux are not implemented:
- Encrypted Media Extensions (requires Widevine CDM binary)
- Process sandboxing (requires Capsicum backend)
- Reduced memory usage (requires mozjemalloc)
- Crash Reporter (requires Google Breakpad and reproducible builds)
- WebVR (requires open source runtime)
- TCP fast open
- `about:networking` (requires link state notification)
## Audio backend
Currently used audio backend can be inspected on `about:support` page.
Supported backends and default probing order is as follows:
- `pulse-rust` if `pulseaudio` package is installed (PULSEAUDIO option)
- `jack` if `jackit` package is installed (JACK option)
- `sndio` if `sndio` package is installed (SNDIO option)
- `alsa` if `alsa-lib` package is installed (ALSA option)
- `oss` (always available)
To force a specific backend open `about:config` page and create
`media.cubeb.backend` preference.
Microphone selection only works in `oss`, `pulse`, `pulse-rust` backends.
Other backends are limited to `default` which is usually `/dev/dsp`,
so use virtual_oss to reroute microphones from non-default devices.
## Gamepad API
Requires evdev(4) joystick support. On FreeBSD 13.0 enable hgame(4)
while older versions can use sysutils/iichid or multimedia/webcamd.
## smb:// issues
Network group, machine, and share browsing does not work correctly.
## sftp://
Only sftp access using public key authentication works. To easily
setup public key authentication to `remote_host`:
$ ssh-keygen
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh remote_host "cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys"
The SSH server on `remote_host` must allow pub key authentication.

www/firefox: fix build on i386
The included protobuf tries to figure out optimal memory alignment
for some variables, but on i386 our library is not really helpful
with that. Adjust the alignment for the problematic case, and disable
one static_assert() checking for alignment values (borrowed from
devel/protobuf port).

- www/chromium: add --ozone-platform=wayland on command line
- www/firefox-esr: add MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 via environ(7)
- www/firefox: add MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 via environ(7)

www/firefox: uplift patch for bmo#1779425
at least with some video cards (I only have one) but not with
software rendering, tabs supposed to display WebGL things may
crash instead. With this patch I can at least watch the cube
spin and the fishys swim, fwiw.
