Hi Stefan, As I wrote previously, I resolved the SWF display capability on FireFox 56, by switching all the system packages to the Packman versions.

It'd be interesting to know which package did the trick, because to me this indicates that some must have had incomplete/wrong requires/provides.

I agree with you but honestly I didn't do any debugging, I always starting FF56 by its menu and not by the console. I think it should be helpful having a test system and installing TW from scratch with just FF56 and OSS repos enabled and do the debugging test, let's say nº 1. Then enable Packman repo swapping some of the dependency packages involved and do the test nº2. In any case I think you know how to proceed much better than me!
