I tried to install firefox from the freeBSD 4.11 ports collection.
When I ran make, I got a dos-like pseudo-gui reminiscent of those
encountered when installing freeBSD but it doesn't work.  The arrow
keys simply produce some escape sequence.

Why can't the firefox port be installed like the other ports?  Why
the glitz?
