Thanks for the help. :-) I installed dbus, added the dbus_enable setting, and rebooted -- it may have helped somewhat, but I still see a lot of complaints on the console. I tried installing hal -- it was already installed at that point. I use a KVM switch with external keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and have always had problems getting FOSS graphical desktops to work correctly with the KVM on this ~2007 Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop. Even if I resolved the Firefox issues, FreeBSD 11.2 amd64 Xfce has severe problems switching between the internal laptop panel and the external monitor. Debian 9 amd64 Xfce mostly works OOTB, so I'll save FreeBSD for another, newer laptop. David
