[Slackbuilds-users] [FIX] Eclipse + xulrunner issue.

Tue May 3 01:37:43 UTC 2011

Bradley,

This eclipse crash can be solved by setting the environment variable
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME, and I think that has the same effect of editing the
eclipse.ini.

The Eclipse Internal Browser works well with Firefox 3, but it do not
work with the Firefox 4 library.

I did not make any tests with xulrunner or with the x86 arch. See
below a snapshot of my slackware64 13.37 + eclipse 3.6.2 + Firefox
3.6.16 (from 13.1).
