If firefox is like mozilla, then you can make the port with debugging make WITH_DEBUG=1 That might a) give you more info about what happens just before it crashes and b) give you a -g executable you can use with your core file. The only other question is, did you update gnome recently, and did you follow the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING? --look for 20050312. Only guessing mind. My last attempt at thunderbird crashed constantly -- far more often than your firefox. I just gave up. Also, be warned that with debugging, mozilla beeps quite a lot as it seems to fail assertions doing just about anything. Not very accurate assertions, I guess ;) Also, you may need to tweak or delete /var/db/ports/firefox/options when you want to recompile without debugging again. That one caught me out, and mozilla is *still* beeping like a mad thing. --Alex
