Or perhaps even compiling using a gcc version not in the base system? I had that exact problem with Firefox 3.6 (and with Thunderbird as well) and menus when compiling with gcc45 and/or overriding CFLAGS. It went away when I re-built Firefox (well, actually, I re-built everything, world, kernel and all the ports) using the stock compiler and removed all CFLAGS overrides. Rolf
