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)
