Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
  • 2012-10-10
    Affects: users of www/firefox and www/seamonkey
    Author: gecko@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      When using Firefox or SeaMonkey compiled with ALSA option ON it may
      crash on assert in cubeb_refill_stream as described in ports/170473.
      To fix either set media.use_cubeb -> false in about:config or rebuild
      audio/alsa-plugins with ARIFF_OSS option disabled (default).
    
    
  • 2012-07-26
    Affects: users of www/firefox, www/seamonkey, mail/thunderbird, www/libxul
    Author: gecko@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      Gecko ports were switched to use system libraries. Some of them
      must be built with certain options set (default).
    
      - graphics/png has to be installed with APNG option
    
      - databases/sqlite3 has to be installed with SECURE_DELETE, THREADSAFE,
        FTS3, UNLOCK_NOTIFY options
    
    
  • 2012-04-18
    Affects: users of www/firefox and mail/thunderbird
    Author: gecko@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      Firefox and Thunderbird have been updated to 11.0. If you want to
      stay with the Extended Support Release please use the new -esr
      ports.
    
      Firefox:
      # portupgrade -o www/firefox-esr www/firefox
      # portupgrade -o www/firefox-esr-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
      or
      # portmaster -o www/firefox-esr www/firefox
      # portmaster -o www/firefox-esr-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
    
      Thunderbird:
      # portupgrade -o mail/thunderbird-esr mail/thunderbird
      # portupgrade -o mail/thunderbird-esr-i18n \
        mail/thunderbird-i18n (if installed)
      or
      # portmaster -o mail/thunderbird-esr mail/thunderbird
      # portmaster -o mail/thunderbird-esr-i18n \
        mail/thunderbird-i18n (if installed)
    
    
  • 2011-03-22
    Affects: users of www/firefox
    Author: gecko@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      The www/firefox port has been updated to 4.0. If you want to stay with
      Firefox 3.6 please run:
    
      # portupgrade -o www/firefox36 www/firefox
      # portupgrade -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
      or
      # portmaster -o www/firefox36 www/firefox
      # portmaster -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
    
      Do not select the OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS option on a system with less then
      2 GB of RAM otherwise you will run out of memory during the build.
    
      Please make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 4.0 and
      backup your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox
      4.0.
    
      The startup script has been renamed from firefox3 to firefox.
    
    
  • 2010-02-07
    Affects: users of www/firefox
             AUTHORS: beat@FreeBSD.org, mandree@FreeBSD.org (Java plugin)
    Author: 
    Reason:   The www/firefox port has been updated to 3.6.  From now on www/firefox
      will contain the most recent version of Firefox.  Older but still
      supported releases will be available in www/firefox3 and www/firefox35.
    
      In order to update to Firefox 3.6 please delete your older installed
      version of Firefox first and install www/firefox afterwards.  Please
      make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 3.6 and backup
      your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox 3.6.
    
      Note that in order to use Java with Firefox 3.6, you need to install
      java/openjdk6, build it with the "WEB" option enabled and use the Iced
      Tea plugin.  To achieve the latter, each user needs to create a
      symlink to the Icedtea plugin as described in the Browsers/Firefox and
      Java[tm] Plugin section in the handbook:
    
    	ln -s /usr/local/openjdk6/jre/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so \
    	$HOME/.mozilla/plugins

Add a patch to run g_thread_init() as soon as Firefox starts.  This is said
to fix some threading issues in Firefox, but I have not personally encountered
them (at least not ones fixed by this patch).

See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247204 for more details.

Update to 0.9.  For a complete list of what's new, plus an important
list of Known Issues, see:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/0.9.html

This update also includes a new pkg-install script based on ports/65590
from Thierry Thomas <thierry@pompo.net>.  However...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After installing Firefox, you must su - to root, and run ``firefox'' before
running it as any other user.  If you do not su - to root, you may lose some
of your user settings.  If you try to run Firefox as a normal user without
first running it as root, the browser will not show up.  This is a known issue
with Firefox, and they hope to address it in a future release.

Forced commit to note why we don't build with a bind port that has
overridden the base.  To quote from eik:

[Bind] overwrites /usr/include/netdb.h and give a wrong definition for
`h_errno' when _REENTRANT is defined. This causes link errors where
`__h_errno' is undefined.

Remove the ugly libnspr hack, and be a little more clever when adding
libiconv support.  While this approach adds an extra patch, it insures
that the built-in nspr will used without the need for additional messy
