Any idea on how to solve this or what goes wrong? What FTP URL are you connecting to in order to download the firefox package? Firefox 9.0 postdates FreeBSD 8.2 release, so it won't be in the packages-8.2-release collection: ftp> pwd Remote directory: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/Latest ftp> ls firefox.tbz 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||51545|) 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'. lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 27 Jan 20 2011 firefox.tbz -> =2E./All/firefox-3.6.13,1.tbz 226 Transfer complete. However, if you use the packages-8-stable collection, you should get firefox-9: ftp> pwd Remote directory: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/Latest ftp> ls firefox.tbz 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||63627|) 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'. lrwxr-xr-x 1 1006 1006 26 Jan 17 21:28 firefox.tbz -> =2E./All/firefox-9.0.1,1.tbz 226 Transfer complete. Packages compiled for FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE should work perfectly well on 8.2-RELEASE-pX with the possible exception of a few things like lsof that go poking directly into kernel memory structures.
