This is a problem with how D-Bus is packaged on FreeBSD and not a Firefox specific problem. On OpenBSD the dbus package will run `dbus-uuidgen --ensure` to generate the machine-id file when it's installed so that D-Bus can work correctly out of the box. On FreeBSD the rc script takes care of it and you're expected to put dbus_enable=3DYES into /etc/rc.conf and start D-Bus once to generate the machine-id. This is a common support problem (nightmare?) on the FreeBSD forums too [1]. Often seen when users try to install and run Xfce without having `dbus_enable=3DYES` in `/etc/rc.conf`. There would be IMHO no real downsides in putting @postexec %%PREFIX%%/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure into devel/dbus' pkg-plist on FreeBSD like on OpenBSD.
