Take a look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277265

Maybe you should add your comment there, vote for the bug or ask the
developer nicely. He is not listed as devaway so you should be able to
contact him.

In the meant time, you could use the ebuild attached to the bug.

If at first you don't succeed, you'll get a lot of free advice from
folks who didn't succeed either.

Dang firefox, security exception on the bugz site :(

I have compiled it locally (not thru ebuild) and copied the owfs
exec file to /usr/bin/owfs, and the required library to /usr/lib, I'm
sure to get errors once this package is ever going to get upgraded, but
for now, I think I forgot my long lost bugz password :P


Thanks for the direction and pointers :)

You probably need to install the root CA cert from cacert.org so
firefox won't complain about certs issued by cacert.org. I'm not
sure why cacert.org hasn't made the list of CA's routinely included
by/with mozilla products.
