So what's this about linux-mozillafirebird? I'm no Mozilla-expert, so > explain to me what's wrong with that one :) hmm, i've done some investigation ... so linux-mozillafirebird is deprecated port , because firebird changed it's name to firefox to avoid conflicting with another opensource process FireBird Database server(InterBase derived). By now repository linux-mozillafirebird and linux-mozillafirefox projects are same thing - allowing you to get linux binary of browser and run it. but i can see that native firefox port works well and allows same things . so propably linux-mozillafirefox port should be removed at all. not sure about linux-mozillafirebird, because there can be other port s depending on it.
