Again, my apologies--
/usr/ports/www/firefox/pkg-message contains the following phrasing:
---
Any bug reports should be addressed to the maintainers at:
gnome@FreeBSD.org
---
I didn't parse that email address as a FreeBSD mailing list ( the lack
of a 'freebsd-' in front of the gnome), and just assumed that was a
mail alias for the maintainers.... but now I know.

And my choice of keywords was obviously not appropriate to return any
responses in my google searches... hence my confusion.

Once the compile finishes, I'll do a portupgrade -a.
