While Firefox 68 started messing with our profiles and required new
profiles on binary location changes Firefox 69 now verifies that we
aren't downgrading to an older Firefox even of the same version. If you
switch between two channel versions and/or between nixpkgs releases
Firefox will refuse to start and demand a fresh profile. Disabling the
downgrade protection works around that issue.
This is a follow up of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/66422
- rename icedtea_web to adoptopenjdk-icedtea-web to reflect the new governance
- add icedtea_web and icedtea8_web to aliases.nix for backwards compatibility
- update the attribute name where icedtea_web is used
By moving the `cfg` variable into the wrapper arguments we are able to
override it for an already wrapped package. For example, with this
change one can have
pkgs.firefox-devedition-bin.override {
cfg.enableBrowserpass = true;
}
which would otherwise be difficult to accomplish for packages having a
complicated wrapped definition in `all-packages.nix`.
Firefox running in wayland mode is unable to find and load
libEGL.so (and says so on stdout). This puts it in "basic"
mode (unaccelerated graphics) and disables WebGL. Fix this by adding
libglvnd to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
With a recent change to firefox (that landed in 67) a new profile is
created whenever the install location changes. Since our install
location (the binary path) always changes when we do a new build it is
rather annoying.
Setting the environment variable `SNAP_NAME` to `firefox` is supposed to
workaround the issue.

The firefox wrapper now supports setting the GDK_BACKEND to wayland
which is useful in cases where firefox would be started from within an
X-Application inside of wayland. GTK/GDK would otherwise default to the
X11 backend in those situations.
The intention is that people that are using wayland primarily pull in
the new `firefox-wayland` top-level attribute into their environments
instead of just `firefox`. Firefox will then always be started with the
correct rendering backend.
Fixes#30285
Some things done:
- Add macOS frameworks needed
- Fix RUST_BINDGEN handling. We need to pass all of NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE
to rust bindgen
- Add custom install phase for darwin
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
The icons for Firefox are in a new location in the unwrapped package; the
wrapper is updated to reflect that. This should have no effect on other browers
that provide their own icons in the default XDG location.
Storing the build configuration caused Firefox to retain a dependency
on gcc, glibc.dev and icu4c.dev.
This reduces the size of the firefox closure from 587 to 415 MiB.
