The firefox wrapper now supports setting the GDK_BACKEND to wayland
which is useful in cases where firefox would be started from within an
X-Application inside of wayland. GTK/GDK would otherwise default to the
X11 backend in those situations.
The intention is that people that are using wayland primarily pull in
the new `firefox-wayland` top-level attribute into their environments
instead of just `firefox`. Firefox will then always be started with the
correct rendering backend.
Fixes#30285
Some things done:
- Add macOS frameworks needed
- Fix RUST_BINDGEN handling. We need to pass all of NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE
to rust bindgen
- Add custom install phase for darwin
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
The icons for Firefox are in a new location in the unwrapped package; the
wrapper is updated to reflect that. This should have no effect on other browers
that provide their own icons in the default XDG location.
Storing the build configuration caused Firefox to retain a dependency
on gcc, glibc.dev and icu4c.dev.
This reduces the size of the firefox closure from 587 to 415 MiB.
Set MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER for firefox as per [1] (see [2] for detailed discussion).
Firefox will recognise itself across verions, skipping the 'not-the-default-browser' prompt.
Firefox will also write sane paths to the generated desktop file, should someone ever set it as default through the 'not-the-default-browser' prompt.
Also removed the unnecessary libtrick cruft.

I really wanted it to substitute the html5 player, or at least the direct
player for mp4/webm files in firefox, but I couldn't make it work. The
formats recognized by the firefox internal player were used in all cases. The
plugin worked for formats unknown by firefox.

Nevertheless, as I wrote the nix recipe, I commit it. It may be of interest to
someone else.
