Hi ive just installed xfce again and noticed the updated Firefox is Developer Edition, i have tried to watch Netflix and its not allowing me to watch movies or shows. is there a USE flag i need to rebuild firefox with or something?

thanks.

Hi Brad,
We reassembled the package with the “bindist” flag as recommended by the Gentoo maintainers. This is the same version of Firefox devoid of official Firefox branding.

Ok thanks, i added bindist to the use flag and i get this when trying to emerge with bindist

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

Change the flags only if you are sure of what you are doing.
