Basically by setting the configuration =E2=80=9Clayers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled= =E2=80=9D 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 does= n't seem to work well on FreeBSD.
