Most of my google-fu indicates that people were having problems with newer version of firefox what this could have to do with QT5 is beyond me.
SO I remover the latest version of Firefox and installed the version that shipped with 14.1.
Probably a long shot but what the hey.
I am also building a 14.1 VM that is similar to what I have minus the more exotic touches
Perchance that will be able to build the stuff.
Come on 14.2
