 seamonkey is firefox + thunderbird :)

its just silly it ads www to any url, so the hostname cant be found

2.53.8 does not do this shit

i still love mozilla not force https on all webpages, this is a job for webservers not for www clients, doh

i currently compile chromioum, it takes time, ebuild ask for 4GB ram, and 9GB harddisk space as minimum to compile it

i read in the source of it it drop compile with gcc, and uses clang to solve it, maybe on your os  badly brokken ?

11.2.0 is still masked in gentoo, if thats matter for glibc
