Hi,

As a former Palemoon user on FreeBSD I am contacting you regarding if =
it's possible to fix the Firefox build to not pull dbus in as a dependency=
=2E

Another OS, kisslinux, does not require dbus to be installed=2E I am a=
ware that GTK3 pulls this in as well and have contacted gnome@ as well=2E 
=

The details kisslinux uses are in this repo: https://github=2Ecom/kisslinu=
x/repo/tree/master/extra/

Best regards=2E

Disable DBUS option in www/firefox then build yourself. There's no need
to patch because audio_thread_priority isn't used on non-Linux.

If you're using MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 on Wayland then DBUS is required to
send commands to the remote instance e.g., "firefox <url>" opens a new
tab in existing insntance instead of launching a new one.
