Wow! Not what I expected to find! Yes, /var/db/ports/firefox/options is there, but /var/db/ports/firefox-remote/options is not. And, when I look at /var/db/ports/firefox/options, it actually contains the options for firefox-remote! If I go into www/firefox and make config, /var/db/ports/firefox-remote/options contains the right options. Ouch. I'll need to re-build firefox-remote later, but at least I now expect firefox to build as I want it to. Something in parsing the port name seems to have been broken. --=20 R.
