Basically by setting the configuration “layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled” to false by default. The current portrevision 40.0_5,1 runs fine. There has been some churn in recent firefox versions; - A switch back to GTK+2, then allowing GTK+3 again. - Logging is not longer optional. - Some platforms have switched to off-main-thread compositioning. This doesn't seem to work well on FreeBSD.
