firefox-x11 is out-of-date (update needed for security)

[vinc17@…]

Firefox 2.0.0.13 is very old. Many security holes have been fixed since. Current versions are 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1.

Fixed by r38988.

The new version fails to build for me. OS 10.5.4, x86, XCode 3.1, MP trunk.

This is due to an integer overflow. I've committed a new version with a patch. Could you try again?

FYI, I've reported the bug upstream: ​https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449370

Now I get:

../../dist/bin/xpidl -m header -w -I. -I../../dist/idl -o _xpidlgen/nsIClassInfo nsIClassInfo.idl
nsIClassInfo.idl:118: Missing semicolon after constant declaration for `RESERVED'
nsIClassInfo.idl:118: `U' undeclared identifier

** (process:31692): WARNING **: Parse of nsIClassInfo.idl failed

I guess XPIDL doesn't like U on numeric constants. I have no idea how to make it happy, unfortunately.

[vinc17@…]

I've written the constant in another way. Could you try again?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Now it's back to the original "unsigned const declaration 'RESERVED' initialized with negative constant" failure.

[vinc17@…]

So, I've removed the patch. It may be a problem on your side as someone had the same problem in 2002. You may want to look at:
