Thanks for the replies on this. I ruled out fs corruption and tried starting Firefox from a term in safe mode. Even the safe mode dialogue at start up would cause a seg fault. It would take out Xorg too and dump me back at cli. Anyway I am a step close because I discovered that if I run xorg without the Intel driver (i915kms) my screen is messed up but Firefox runs fine! On the working install /boot/modules is populated with lots of various drivers. On the non working one, it's empty! I have no recollection at all of building any modules and I'm unsure how they got there (but then I have no memory of a lot of things!) Maybe they where brought in when installing another package? On the working setup I am running from rc.conf $ ls -l /boot/modules/i915kms.ko -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2112672 May 15 03:15 /boot/modules/i915kms.ko On the non working one; $ ls -l /boot/kernel/i915kms.ko -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 969464 Nov 1 2019 /boot/kernel/i915kms.ko So it looks like the older driver is related to the issue. $ dmesg| grep CPU CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570T CPU @ 2.90GHz (2893.38-MHz K8-class CPU) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs cpu0: <ACPI CPU> on acpi0 Any tips on how to get the new driver / module installed? Thanks!
