I have built the last firefox release on Sparc Sun Solaris 8, but my building
version has not the checkbox in prompt window !?

For comparaison, I have tested the Leon Sha's contrib
(ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/contrib/firefox-sparc-sun-solaris2.8.tar.bz2)
and this one is correct.

What is which can produce this type of problem ?

[timeless]

erp, your flags are really whacky. please remove:
--enable-crash-on-assert --enable-strip --enable-strip-libs

the first one does nothing because of:
--disable-debug

however, if you ever remove --disable-debug, your app would crash instantly.

the other two mean that you'll hever be able to give any useful crash reporting.
which means you'll be wasting our time.

you might as well remove:
--disable-activex --disable-activex-scripting 
as they're only supported for windows

remove:
--disable-composer
it's an embedding flag, and is absolutely not supported for normal browsers,
where it will actually break some functionality.

once you've rebuilt, please attach a picture of the dialog you're describing,
once from your build, once from sun's. and lastly, please explain how to get to
the dialog :).

er, is this a trunk build or using the source tarball (or CVS release tag)?

might be worthwhile comparing your about:buildconfig to the working contrib build.

Sorry if my explanations are not very clear :(

I have rebuilt Firefox with less "whacky" options, but with same result.
I have used official source tarball.

My buildconfig :

sparc-sun-solaris2.8

--disable-debug --disable-pedantic --disable-ldap --disable-mailnews 

Yes I have do a comparaison with the options of the contrib build, but I don't
know what can be important :
- it's not the sames compilers (Sun C,C++ 5.5 for him and  Sun C,C++ 5.3 for me)
- it's not exactly the sames options, but there is more thant one way to do that
no ?

In attachment I have add two snapshots : 
- first is the contrib window
- second is my last build window

=> I have not the checkbox and I don't know why ?!

ok it's interesting but where can I find this type of information ??

Hello guys, after a series of comparative test I concluded from there that was
the use of "wallet" in the list of the extensions for firefox which is at the
origin of the problem. Indeed when I compile with this extension then the
profile firefox created by the application contains an incorrect file compreg.dat.

If :
- You have a good profil (created by an another firefox) but you used a bad
application you are not the problem
- You have a bad profile but you used a good firefox (without this extension)
you are the problem !!

Can that help you??

Comment 7

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Yeah, it does, don't build wallet!  (We don't need it or use it.)

This is why we have a standard build setup.  At some point configure will fail
if you try to build wallet, but I don't think that's in on trunk yet, but will
be before 1.1.

Comment 8

[s.despret]

ok I did not know.
Isn't it in the default list of the extensions in configure ?

For my information, is there any document that explains which extension to use
and not to use for Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird..etc ?
