[sorry if i don't post this to -ports, but i feel that this is really a -stable issue as it affects one widely used port] I am not sure if i am the only one, but on RELENG_6, linux-firefox 2 is basically unusable (see details below), while linux-firefox 1.5 is at least usable (even though it has some memory leak so after a while its size grows well above 3-400MB). Would it be possible to resurrect the linux-firefox 1.5 port (under a separate name) so at least people have a choice on which set of bugs they prefer ? The problems with linux firefox 2.0 are that after a little bit of browsing (let's say 50-100 pages) some of its threads seem to lock up, functions on the gui stop working (e.g. clicking on the tabs does not work anymore) and in the end you have to kill it hard. I have submitted a PR with more details. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/107219 cheers luigi
