Bug 272767: www/firefox: 116.0 all tabs crash if kern.elf64.allow_wx=3D0
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D272767



--- Description ---
After the recent firefox-116.0.2 update, _all_ tabs crash when these are se=
t in
/boot/loader.conf:

```
kern.elf32.allow_wx=3D0
kern.elf64.allow_wx=3D0
```

The same result with a clean firefox package reinstall (and also a brand new
run
with ~/.cache and ~/.mozilla removed). A ~150 MB core file is left behind a=
fter
this.

Didn't have any issues with any of the previous upgrades at all.

I've worked around this by setting both those sysctl vars. to `1'.

The error message from a pristine first-run of Firefox is attached.
