Hello! I'm pretty sure, I've reported this already. Firefox checks the "system" libz's version and insists on it 1.2.3, because there was a security flaw in the 1.2.2. FreeBSD patched the flaw years ago _without_ bumping the version number, so firefox' configure misdetects and decides to build the bundled zlib instead of using the perfectly good "system" one. The following hunk should be added to files/patch-configure to stop this silliness (mind the tabs/spaces): @@ -1022,5 +1022,5 @@ MOZJPEG=62 MOZPNG=10207 -MOZZLIB=1.2.3 +MOZZLIB=1.2.2 NSPR_VERSION=4 Other Mozilla-ports could use this too... Yours, -mi
