Comment:
Firefox-x11 has now been updated to the current version. Please post bug
reports against firefox-x11 if it fails.
Please note that:
1. yelp has a dependency on gtkmozembed which has in the past been
explicitly not supported on the Mac OS X platform by the Mozilla
foundation. The decision to use Firefox instead of another embedding
solution to provide gtkmozembed allows us to support only one hacked
application (that was also requested) instead of multiple hacked
applications.
1. work is ongoing on porting yelp from gtkmozembed to webkit-gtk for its
rendering, so this issue should just go away (hopefully within the year)
