-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm looking for testers to try out a patch that fixes the problem where Firefox wants to be run as root for the first time. It seems to work fine for me, but I want to make sure it does the trick on a wide variety of setups. To test this, download the patch from http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/firefox.diff, and apply it to the firefox port with the following sequence: # cd /usr/ports/www # patch -p < /path/to/firefox.diff Then upgrade firefox with portupgrade. To verify the patch is working, start firefox from a terminal. You should no longer see the error about running Firefox as root. This patch does not attempt to address the recently reported crash with JavaScript pop-up windows. That problem has already been reported to the Mozilla developers in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264557.
