When "gettext" was updated and we have had to update any dependend port, within this procedure Firefox 3.6 worked correctly as expected. But after the update was performed, everything remained as it was before. I did several times portmaster -f (which is the same as -R with portupgrade) to build every necessary port, but with no effect. I also performed the one-day-taking gettext update and, additionaly, I recompiled every port (nearly 1000 on my systems). No effect. When delegating the client firefox to another X terminal, say to my workstation at home (login with ssh -Y for X11 portforwarding), no problems occur, so I guess the problem is riggered by X11 on the local machine and especially with the ATI radeonhd driver (which does not work correctly on many boxes and with low end Radeon HD 46XX or 47XX cards). I have no idea. I use Opera for now on the machine in question. Regards, Oliver
