Rigth now, the mozilla project uses gnome as a reference.  Also here in=20
=46reeBSD.

This doesn't add any special new depend to mozilla/firefox.  It allready=20
builds over gtk20.

Also, at last for firefox, The apps have built-in the resources needed=20
to change the gnome-registry.  This is what is done in the=20
'registration as default browser'.

The only aditional port you may need is sysutils/gconf-editor.  This may=20
easy edit uri entries is you don't like the defaults.  You may launch=20
gconf-editor from a xterm and edit desktop/gnome/url-handlers as you=20
like.

Also, you may use mozilla, which have a built-in mail app and external=20
handlers disabled by default.
