First, there is an entry pertaining to upgrading Firefox in
/usr/ports/UPDATING.  Second, there are known issues with Firefox and
linuxpluginwrapper.  If you have lpw installed, you will see:

firefox-bin: Fatal IO error 78 (Function not implemented) on X server
:0.0.

When you start Firefox 1.0PR for the first time.  Subsequent invocations
should be okay.  However, for best operation, you are encouraged to
uninstall this plug-in, upgrade to 1.0PR, and start the browser once.=20
Afterward, you can reinstall the plug-in.

This isn't necessary, though.  You can simply follow the instructions in
UPDATING, then start Firefox twice.  The second time, and all subsequent
times, it should start up just fine.

I have not found any reliable workaround for the unimplemented X
function except for temporarily disabling lpw.  Adding 127.0.0.1 to the
xhost database does not fix the problem.
