The problem was that starting Firefox 3.6 with certain addons installed was not possible. Now it looks like all problems are solved and we can start a CFT. If everything works fine we plan to commit Firefox 3.6 next weekend. We should also note that the java plugin currently does not work with 3.6. What's new in Firefox 3.6 * Support for the HTML5 File API * A change to how third-party software integrates with Firefox to increase stability. * The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times. * A mechanism to prevent incompatible software from crashing Firefox. * Users can now change their browser's appearance with a single click, with built in support for Personas. * Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them safe. * Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports poster frames. * Support for the WOFF font format. * Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time. * Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies. Please make sure all your addons are compatible with firefox 3.6, backup your $HOME/.mozilla dir, also you need to reinstall www/linux-f10-flashplugin10. here is the patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/gecko/firefox36.diff A big thanks is going to nox@, Andreas Tobler, Florian Seemts.
