Description:
It seems firefox needs libwayland-egl.so.1 to run: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1645086#p1645086 Mesa (provides libwayland-egl.so.1) seems to be an indirect dependency of Firefox, but, depending on which graphics driver you are using, it is possible to have a situation where mesa is not installed after installing firefox. Due to libmozgtk.so needing libwayland-egl.so.1, and firefox being unable to run without it, mesa should probably be a direct dependency of firefox. Additional info: Fx 47 mentioned in the forum thread, but probably affects Fx 48 too. Steps to reproduce: Create a clean chroot, chroot/nspawn in and run 'pacman -S nvidia-libgl firefox'. Check the output, and note that mesa is not pulled in as a dependency. |

Nothing in the firefox package is linked to libwayland-egl.so. I'm
guessing this is related to gtk3.
