This is a PSA for all actual /g/entoomen on this board: If you want FF to not be slow pile of shit, compile it with the "hwaccel" USE flag, and enabling the "system-jpeg" USE flag will allow thumbnails for all images including jpg in firefox filepicker.

Nobody cares faggot.
>>59542687
thanks for the bump :^)
Also general /g/entoo tips/ USE flags thread
Meanwhile on any other distro you can just check a box to enable hardware acceleration.
>>59542655
I just ended up using Chromium and eventually Google Chrome.
Sorry anon, Firefox just ain't usable.
thanks op

we are running windows 10, sir
I was noticing Firefox compiled was slower, will try your tips, thanks
>>59542655
>hwaccel
>system-jpeg
hmm, will try thnx
If only nuoveau wasn't dogshit and kept crashing when video hardware acceleration is enabled.
>>59542655
can't make my touchpad work on Gentoo
how did you manage to do it? halp
>>59545417
adding evdev to INPUT_DEVICES will most likely do the trick
How long does it take for you guys to compile these browsers? Hours?
>>59545922
firefox takes roughly an hour on i3-2330M
>>59545868
did that, I tried so many things...
are you using wayland or xorg? synaptics or libinput?
>>59545922
chromium took about 2 hours on my i5 laptop. main reason why i moved back to debian, my laptop was literally unusable when it was compiling.
>not installing firefox-bin
are you stupid?
>>59546218
xorg and synaptics

Mon Mar 13 13:51:40 2017 >>> www-client/firefox-45.8.0
merge time: 20 minutes and 35 seconds.
20min on FX-8350
>>59546329
fake
>>59546322
that's what I did for chromium. was just getting tired of having to make time/plan out when to update.
>>59546322
thanks
also, are you using init or systemd?
>>59546655
OpenRC masterrace. I was thinking maybe you're missing INPUT_EVDEV in kernel or something?
>>59546730
Hmm not sure what that is...
I tried fedora and ubuntu live usbs and it worked perfectly
>>59542655
>Not knowing to enable hardware acceleration in the first place
If someone is this stupid they shouldn't be using Gentoo anyway
>>59542655
There's only five people on this entire board whom use Gentoo....
>>59546839
There's a list of kernel options to enable in this article: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Evdev
>>59542655
I use Debian because I prefer to not have to bother with any of that and let the distro maintainers do it for me
>>59546945
I wouldn't trust your distro maintainers, anon. >>59546435
