Ok, I finally figured out how to get portdowngrade to give me a 46.0.1,1 version of firefox and built & installed it. Unfortunately, that didn't solve my hanging firefox scripts problem so apparently it's likely to be caused by something else that got updated when I did the portupgrade on June 4th. Not sure where to go from here... Bob On Wed, Jun 08, 2016 at 08:07:41AM -0500, Bob Willcox wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > Thanks for your reply.
