Latest Firefox Port on FreeBSD

From the bleeding edge — get it working thusly:

  1. portupgrade
  2. Backup your bookmarks.html
  3. Remove your .mozilla directory
  4. sudo firefox to set things up
  5. chown -R `whoami` .mozilla
  6. Put your bookmarks.html back
  7. Run firefox under your own UID. :)
  8. And reinstall your preferred theme and all your favorite extensions.

At least it works well under Windows.

    I struggled trying to get Firefox running from ports for almost a week, then I found this post using Google. Rejoice! It works!

    Thanks.
