It's a fresh 5.4RC installation, so I doubt there's anything out of
date.
Package behaves the same as the port (I cimpiled after the package
wouldn't work, no special options).
I simply run firefox, nothing happens:
$ which firefox
/usr/X11R6/bin/firefox
$ firefox
$
No window, no process, nothing.

But:
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/firefox-bin also exits, complaining about missing
libmozjs.so (ldd show me that the library is in fact not found).
libmozjs.so exists: /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/libmozjs.so
But why does it work as root then (running the firefox-script, not
firefox-bin directly)?
