I might miss something here, but I find myself knocked out of firefoxes on FreeBSD-7.2 now. Firefox-2.x had an autoupdate and since then requires gtk-2.10. My F8 linux_base only has 2.6. I then moved over the whole 32 chroot I use on Linux (Debian-stable i386) using Firefox-3.5b4. This one isn't stable on FreeBSD-7.2. It hangs on a regular basis which I tend to blame on some threading/concurrency problem (probability of hang is obviously related to amount of concurrent activity). I backed out all emulation kernel changes I have but no change. Starting Firefox-2.x inside the chroot results in a straight segfault. What are people using these days? I would much prefer to keep using a Linux/i386 Firefox since I have one up-to-date tree that I rsync between all Linux and FreeBSD machines.
