Many thanks to everybody for all your messages.

I've decided to try first opera, then Debian guest. And I "forget" 
OpenSolaris.

www/opera built and installed quickly. I really like it, except for the
crash on exit. The workaround does apply for me as well.

www/opera-linuxplugins stopped with

===>  Installing for linux-f10-expat-2.0.1
===>   Generating temporary packing list
brandelf: error opening file usr/bin/xmlwf: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/linux-f10-expat.

===>>> Installation of linux-f10-expat-2.0.1 (textproc/linux-f10-expat)
failed

This is exactly the sort of problem I've encountered whenever I tried to
install all that linux stuff required just for the Flash plugin some weeks
after all other ports. The Handbook procedure for Firefox and Flash Plugin
worked always fine if I've installed it at the same time as all
the rest (500+ ports). Please note that I never forget to read
/usr/ports/UPDATING. I hope this time everything else will continue to
work. Normally, the error messages did not help me to repair the
disaster in the case of, for example, suddenly missing shared libraries
here and there.

This is the reason why the idea to install VirtualBox seemed very
attractive to me. The FreeBSD system is kept "clean" of that large
emulators/linux_base-f10 port. 

The next step is VirtualBox Debian guest. Okay, these are both large
pieces of software. But if it works for Debian, it'll be a useful
experience for flash and perhaps other ports like net-p2p/jigdo I never
heard of...  

Thanks again,
Harald Weis

If the message finally goes out it is thanks to perl-after-upgrade.
And re-installation of devel/pcre.
