The box is a 9.3/i386 and I'm using portupgrade to compile ports from source; the desktop environment is XFCE. Yesterday evening I updated some unrelated ports and some dependencies of Firefox and Thunderbird were updated: after that, those two applications were not running properly. The main window would come up, but never be updated anymore; if I typed on the keyboard I could perceive something happening under the hood (other windows popping up, network packets flowing), but I would see nothing on the screen (the main window would stay exactly as it was when it opened). I removed all extensions, but to no avail. I tried "portupgrade -Rf thunderbird firefox" and let the box compile all night, but again, no luck. So I downgraded all the ports that had been updated and FF and TB started working again. Then I began updating them one at a time and found the culprit to be gtk: when upgrading from 2.24.22_4 to 2.24.25 I get the behaviour described above; after downgrading, both programs work again. I did the same test on another box (10.0/amd64) and got the same results. Right now I'm running the old version of GTK and I'm fine. I'm unsure whether to file a bug report, tough, since I have no further info to include; OTOH, maybe I'm doing something wrong... I'm willing to do any testing if someone can suggest what to try and where to look. bye & Thanks av.
