Description:

Upon attempting to reinstall firefox after installing OSS, there was a conflict between xulrunner-oss, which is required for oss support in firefox, and xulrunner, which I'd replaced with xulrunner-oss per the wiki article. Apparently xulrunner-oss no longer provides xulrunner for firefox. Attempted install of firefox via "pacman -Sd firefox", which results in firefox not starting up due to not finding a proper version of xulrunner.

Additional info:

$ packer -S firefox

xulrunner-oss provides xulrunner

Provides : xulrunner=1.9.2.14

stop using packer and use pacman -Syu

When you use packages from aur, _you_ have to keep them up to date yourself. Firefox wanted xulrunner=1.9.2.14 while you had an older version of xulrunner-oss installed. When you then forced the update, it installed fine, but firefox would not work, since it requires 1.9.2.14

The solution is for you to update your xulrunner-oss or start using xulrunner from extra.

Disregard, xulrunner-oss is in community now >_>
