Enable LTO support on Linux by default again.
Add patch to fix dependentlibs.list generation under LTO. This is
necessary for fixing firefox-wayland crashing when built with LTO.
Add makeFlags which set ar, ranlib, and nm to be llvm-ar, llvm-ranlib
and llvm-nm when building with llvm-based LTO. (bmo#1480005)
This was required to solve the XPCOMGlueLoad error when building with
LTO. However, it turns out libxul.so is supposed to have some libraries
that are reported as not found by ldd. Setting the RPATH worked around
the error as it forced dependency resolution but failed to fix the real
issue of broken generation of dependentlibs.list.
The libraries that are reported as not found by ldd are supposed to be
dlopened through the logic found in nsXPCOMGlue.cpp. However since the
generation of dependentlibs.list is broken under LTO this did not
happen. Instead of pulling libwayland-client.so from the GTK libraries
it found the stub library first (libmozwayland.so). The stub library
causes (as it should) wl_display_connect to always return NULL which is
the cause of the segmentation fault and LTO breaking wayland support.
Remove the hardcoded path used for the XPCOMGlueLoad error workaround
in NIX_LDFLAGS. libunwind is still unfortunately needed. Once the issue
of the generation of dependentlibs.list being borked is fixed it should
remedy the wayland crash issue on LTO.
Firefox has a number of optional dependencies that get dlopened.
Instead of using patchelf to set the RPATH use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
The motivation for this is we already set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the
wrapper on Linux.
It only affected FF80 so place an upper bound restriction. See
bmo#1661096 for details.
This fixes substituteStream() warnings about missing patterns which
appeared in the logs.
It was added for nspr and nss back in the 55.0.3 to 56.0 upgrade. It
also served as a workaround for an undeclared gio-unix-2.0 dependency.
Sometime afterwards nspr was removed, leaving just the two. Since then,
upstream has added a declaration for gio-unix-2.0 (in FF62). As for the
nss include it seemingly has no purpose since current firefox builds
with it removed.
For in NixOS it is beneficial if both plasma5 and pam use the same Qt5
version. Because the plasma5 desktop may use a different version as the
default Qt5 version, we introduce plasma5Packages.
After the fedora patches for screen sharing using pipewire got updated
for Firefox 83 (pipewire was inlined there), the nixpkgs buildInput
pipewire got stripped from the resulting firefox binary and so firefox
was unable to actually get the shared stream from the running pipewire
service.
Adding pipewire to the firefox binary with `patchelf --add-needed`
makes it atually get the stream from the service.
Fixes: #106812
This is required for certain URIs that require launching external
programs (e.g. mailto:, magnet:, or irc:) or setting the default browser
via xdg-settings.
Resolve#92751.
Comparable to #96922.
After the recent wrapper and plugin purge outbreak where as the only
active listed maintainer of the package I didn't even get a chance to
comment (e.g. via comment or review request) I do not want to continue
maintaining this package anymore.
This patch fixes compilation on aarch64 that broke somewhere between the
upgrade to the lateste rustc and the firefox 82 to 83 upgrade.
The patch has been submitted upstream and can probably be removed on the
next version bump.
