The initial 0.5 in the ports tree was kind of a bastard, as they hadn't
tagged all the files due to an oversight. It was also broken.

I backed the tree down to 0.4_10 a few hours later.

This morning (early) I updated with a 0.5_1 which works fine for me.

It is likely you've got some kind of an out-of-date configuration.

Another thing to consider is, if it looks like it is starting up and
then just dies, consider removing the add on X fonts you may have
installed (except webfonts, I know that's good). Apparently mozilla+xft
is vulnerable to death by slightly incorrect font files, according to
mail we have been copied on by Joe Marcus Clarke (marcus@freebsd.org).

The distfile is only on my web page, it has not been mirrored to the
ftp personal distfiles yet.
