www/firefox or www/firefox35 (if you depend on the java plugin) instead.

- Update to 3.0.19
- Mark DEPRECATED: Firefox 3.0.19 is a last security and stability update
to Firefox 3.0.x. Please consider using www/firefox or www/firefox35

Take maintainership. The first of two steps is to take all
Gecko Stuff from the Gnome team. I'd like to say thanks a lot for
all the work in the past years.
Add a new framework for browser plugins, USE_WEBPLUGINS. It is for which foo
plugins support one of web browsers and can take care of plist (depend on how
you use it) at the same time. I have written a complete document and even show
how it works in the www/firefox/Makefile.webplugins so be sure to read in
there. If there is anything that isn't clear in the document, please feel free
to ask and I will try my best to improvement it.
FYI: GNOME 2.24 depends on this, so it's coming.
BTW: It's based on www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi with heavy modified.

Make www/firefox3 work on PowerPC.
There were two things that prevented this port from compiling properly
on PowerPC:
- The `pthread hack' (GECKO_PTHREAD_LIBS) tried to obtain -lpthread from
the gcc dumpspecs output. It expects these compiler flags to be on the
first line of output, while on PowerPC the flags are on the second
line.
- On FreeBSD/powerpc it needs to use the Linux xptcall wrappers.
I am not entirely convinced that it works properly, though. I've seen
Firefox crash inside pthread_mutex_lock during shutdown. I'm committing
these patches anyway, because getting it to compile is already a step
forward.

This fixed a problem where users were unable to retrieve saved
passwords or save new passwords (bug 454708)

Remove seek for plugins in lib/browser_plugins for now, because a few plugins
that built with Firefox 2 can causes Firefox 3 crashes. We are working on some
changes plugins directory by using www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi.
Bump the PORTREVISION.

First all, ahze did most of work. Thanks ahze! Last week or so, I am just
merely pick up and help him. Thanks to many testers in both private and
mailing list emails for report a few of build and dependencies problems.
Also, thanks to marcus and Chess Griffin for test in their tinderboxes.
x11/pixman: Update to 0.10.0
-------------------------------------------------------
Firefox 3 needs it. Orignal, the shared library was bumped and ahze has
added a new feature in our USE_GNOME=ltverhack by can control the number
of shared library. To control the number of shared library, add the
ltverhack:N. Right now pixman has USE_GNOME=ltverhack:9 to make it stays
same at libpixman-1.so.9. If anyone want to use ltverhack:N in one of your
port, you need to make sure the ABI doesn't change to use it..
