How come when I 'make install clean' in www/firefox (yes my ports are updated correctly) (and just for one example) javascript dosen't work on certain websites but for you it does. This shouln't be ahardware issue. I also see no Makefile declarations to make javascript work for the individual that said I should look at the Makefile closer. > > Actually, in looking at the current port version of www/firefox there are no -D options. > > I am using FBSD 6.2-prerelease, my 'world' is compiled correctly, my ports are updated.

JavaScript is a part of a Gecko engine in firefox and enabled by default during build/install. If you really want solve your problem - show more detailed information about it (where js not work?, user.js from your profile, are all depends for firefox installed, etc?...) - -- Best regards, Simon Phoenix (Phoenix Lab.) - --------------------------------------------------------------- KeyID: 0x2569D30B Fingerprint: 78FC 5C40 07CC D331 148E CC79 84B8 D514 2569 D30B - --------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFa9tyhLjVFCVp0wsRCjIJAKCCnwE92NFu+8P/cCJndvbg3w2jQgCg2ofs Vj8IMKO71WmM+f3diudHiTg= =apeZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
