Hi, after upgrading to 13.4-RC2-p1, I recompiled all ports. Today I found my firefox can no longer render a certain webpage; the output is garbled as if the CSS were missing/defective. Here is details and picture: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/firefox-displays-unintellegible-garbage-only-on-freebsd.94963/post-671994 The firefox version is -esr-115.15.0,1, from 2024Q3 as of a week ago. Investigation showed: * firefox from package as of today (130.something) works well. * firefox-esr from package as of today (128.something) works well. * firefox-esr from ports as of today (128.2.0esr) freshly compiled on 13.4-RC2-p1 also works well (prereqs still from last week) * firefox-esr 115.14.0_1,1 locally compiled a few weeks ago on Rel. 13.3 also works well. So I did verify: I restarted a Rel.13.3-p5, fetched all prereqisite ports from backup (so these were also compiled on 13.3), and then compiled firefox-esr-115.15.0,1, the very same that now renders garbage, using the very same ports tree, with OS running 13.3-p5. And that one now works! So bottomline is: firefox-esr 115.15.0,1 - the one that was in 2024Q3 until about a week ago - works correct when compiled on 13.3 (along with all it's prereq ports), but renders garbage for a certain webpage when compiled on 13.4-RC2 (along with all it's prereq ports). I don't like this, because now the question is: what else might 13.4 compile so that it suddenly functions differently? (I glanced thru PR 277021 - but it doesn't seem to mention anything about webpages displaying broken, or any functional difference) Any idea how this might come to happen, anybody?
