I've several open bug reports with mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638056 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647830 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683879 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729447 I understand it's a pain to keep obsolete software in ports, and I'm trying to find a newer alternative. However, with the current pace of version numbers in mozilla project, FF12 might be coming out tomorrow, and I'm not ready to migrate from 3.6 yet.
