            Bug ID: 220581
           Summary: www/firefox depends on kitchen sink
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

More recent firefox build removed toolkit option (April 11, 438318 by jbeic=
h)
so there is no way to build it without pulling in the entire linux/freedesk=
top
world.  That is due entirely to gtk3's tightly coupled integration with atk
which demands dbus.  So the firefox 'dbus' option is totally irrelevant now
since it is always pulled in.  Is gtk3 really that necessary?  If so it sho=
uld
be patched to remove the atk/dbus dependency, or just add gtk2 support back=
 to
FF.
