After upgrading one of my FreeBSD 8.0-CUR/amd64 boxes to new xorg-7.4 and having done hurting recompiling nearly everything/package twice now firefox3 still doesn't work properly and hits me when starting with this error message: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". Then firefox3 freezes forever, showing something like the background or pixel remnants of windows/picograms moving over its window. I recompiled three times libxcb and its dependencies, two times Xlib/Xserver/xf86-input-* to be sure having compiled everything and then I recompiled everything again what's necessary to build Firefox3. No effect. I now recompile everything needed to build Xlib to get rid of the above shown error message because I suspect this causing my firefox3 not working. On another box, also amd64, but FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE (SMP) I had to do the same procedure and firefox3 is working properly. Bot boxes do have ATI graphics (driver radeon). I also tried deleting my personal .mozille directory and started firefox from scratch. But after some download-save-requester opened (when trying to download a file from a location in the web) firefox freezes also eating up 100% cpu. In all cases Firefox3 can be killed. Any help is appreciated. Oliver
