Well, I've compiled and reinstalled all of the packages on the system with synth with the same result. BTW, from what I could tell, synth forced me to remove any local configuration files that I had for the half a dozen or so ports prior to allowing me to to the 'synth upgrade-system' run. I don't know what is going on/wrong with firefox, but it seems to be getting hung up with some scripts that it tries to run. Since I replaced the version 47 of firefox with the previous 46 version and the problem persisted, I suspect that the issue may not be in firefox at all.
