The original problem was:
After "pkg upgrade firefox" from 44.0,1 to 44.0.2,1,
firefox won't run. It exits with:
/usr/local/lib/gio/modules/libgiofam.so:
Undefined symbol "g_local_directory_monitor_get_type"
New information:
* Doing "pkg upgrade" (everything) and rebooting didn't fix it.
(Same error.)
* Doing "pkg delete gio-fam-backend" deleted gio-fam-backend and
xf86-video-radeonhd without complaint.
* Restarting X11 after deleting those packages worked well without
complaint.
* Starting firefox then did something different: it popped up a small
box giving me the choice of starting in "safe" mode or retrying. I
chose "safe" mode.
Since that time, firefox appears to be working normally again, even
after stopping and restarting.
HTH,
