Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the
Mozilla Application Suite. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers
many advanced features:
o Popup Blocking
o Tabbed Browsing
o Live Bookmarks (ie. RSS)
o Extensions
o Themes
o FastFind
o Improved Security
===> The following configuration options are available for firefox-158.0_1,2:
CANBERRA=off: Sound theme alerts
DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
FFMPEG=on: FFmpeg support (WMA, AIFF, AC3, APE...)
LIBPROXY=off: Proxy support via libproxy
LTO=off: Use Link-Time Optimization
OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=on: Use extra compiler optimizations
PROFILE=on: Build with profiling support
TEST=off: Build and/or run tests
====> Extra cubeb audio backends (OSS is always available)
ALSA=off: ALSA audio architecture support
JACK=on: JACK audio server support
PULSEAUDIO=on: PulseAudio sound server support
SNDIO=on: Sndio audio support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
## Missing features
Some features found on Windows, macOS and Linux are not implemented:
- Encrypted Media Extensions (requires Widevine CDM binary)
- Process sandboxing (requires Capsicum backend)
- Reduced memory usage (requires mozjemalloc)
- Crash Reporter (requires Google Breakpad and reproducible builds)
- WebVR (requires open source runtime)
- TCP fast open
- `about:networking#networkid` (requires link state notification)
## Cursors
From Firefox 142 on, this port defaults to using the new (themed)
cursor selection. On the upside, this makes Firefox respect the
desktop environment's theme, on the downside this breaks compatibility
with the legacy X cursor names. If you experience issues (i.e. the
mouse cursor not changing to the pointer ("hand") when hovering over
links), your desktop environment is most likely still set to the legacy
default/builtin "theme". To remedy this, either
- set about:config variable "widget.gtk.legacy-cursors.enabled" to "true"
to re-enable the legacy cursors, or
- use the Xcursor framework to set a cursor theme (e.g. X resource
item Xcursor.theme), see Xcursor(3) for details. The Adwaita theme
will have been installed as a dependency of gtk3 and does work.
The latter option is only available for X environments.
## Audio backend
Currently used audio backend can be inspected on `about:support` page.
Supported backends and default probing order is as follows:
- `pulse-rust` if `pulseaudio` package is installed (PULSEAUDIO option)
- `jack` if `jackit` package is installed (JACK option)
- `sndio` if `sndio` package is installed (SNDIO option)
- `alsa` if `alsa-lib` package is installed (ALSA option)
- `oss` (always available)
To force a specific backend open `about:config` page and create
`media.cubeb.backend` preference.
Microphone selection only works in `oss`, `pulse-rust` backends.
Other backends are limited to `default` which is usually `/dev/dsp`,
so use virtual_oss to reroute microphones from non-default devices.
## Gamepad API
Requires evdev(4) joystick support. On FreeBSD 13 and later enable hgame(4)
while older versions can use sysutils/iichid or multimedia/webcamd.
## smb:// issues
Network group, machine, and share browsing does not work correctly.
## sftp://
Only sftp access using public key authentication works. To easily
setup public key authentication to `remote_host`:
$ ssh-keygen
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh remote_host "cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys"
The SSH server on `remote_host` must allow pub key authentication.

wasi: update libc to sdk-20 and modularise LLVM bits
wasi-libcxx and wasi-compiler-rt now meta ports (similar to u-boot);
the build process is the same for each LLVM version so child ports
are minimal. Minimum supported LLVM version is 12, thus its
corresponding child ports are resurrected and LLVM 11 child ports
are removed.
Since all supported LLVM versions are made available at once, remove
restriction in bsd.gecko.mk and switch to USES=llvm throughout. LTO
on gecko ports should now work with later LLVM versions so long as
${DEFAULT_VERSIONS} is set properly and matches the LLVM used in
rust (if not using the PORT_LLVM option).

www/firefox: update to 108.0 (rc1)
Release Notes (soon):
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/108.0/releasenotes/
Drops cubeb patch - we get profiling (of anyone wants to try that),
the code has changed enoughj that it became a hassle. Maybe the
legacy backends have improved, or everyone has finally moved off that.
Harfbuzz dependency is declared at a lower version than it should
be - this is for quarterly's sake, which is already quite stale.
FIXME: next year
