> Has anybody built firefox3 from ports on amd64? > Any particular problems encountered? I had to update my ports (all of them) to the absolute latest or it would complain about old versiosn, but no problems *building* it... ...running it, however, is another matter. I get chunks of the screen where it takes part of the bitmap from my desktop and duplicates it across the space (borders of web pafges particularly). also printing seems to juust scale the bitmap fonts so the printout can actually be illegible. I also tried with a precompiled package a few days ago, but the same issues arose. So I've gone back to firefox2 which actually works. -pete.
