How can I get this to build? You must get current firefox and mozilla port, not one old mozilla and new firefox or whatever. The Makefile.common does exists and I would recommend you to pull full ports tree by either CVSup, portsnap or so that get full update ports tree. I won't support any further if you keep just get a port by yourself.
