There were indeed a number of inconsistencies and corrupted files when I ran fsck in single-user mode. I re-installed Firefox using pkg and I successfully launched it. So far so good. I'll keep an eye on it, though I might try continuing to build it via ports. One thing I didn't mention earlier was that, before I had the kernel panics earlier today, each time I tried starting FF, I had to reset everything. Evidently, some of the preference files had been corrupted but either couldn't be restored or would be damaged each time I ran it. Then again, considering that today is Tuesday the 13th.... Thanks again. I learned something new. BMJ
