I am running miro on 9.0-CURRENT with firefox35 and libxul, without mozilla and firefox2. At least on CURRENT the following entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING helps: 20090917: AFFECTS: users of www/epiphany, x11/yelp, graphics/librsvg2, x11/toolkits/py-gnome-extras, and www/epiphany-extensions AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org The default Gecko provider has been changed from www/firefox to www/libxul. Firefox 2.x is now forbidden for security reasons, and libxul is the new, stable Gecko provider. Libxul uses the same Gecko engine as Firefox 3.0.x. Some ports may fail to upgrade or run when both www/firefox and libxul are installed on the same system. To make sure everything runs smoothly, uninstall www/firefox, then install libxul, then upgrade the affected ports.
