A ports installation of firefox35 leads to the application crashing on a freshly installed machine running xfce 4.4.2. The standards tabs open, the status bar mentions "Transferring data from [website]" and after about 3 seconds, the application crashes. In addition, firefox is not listed as a browser among the xfce preferred applications, the list that is automatically generated based on installed applications. madrid# /usr/local/bin/firefox3 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /root/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so [/root/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so: unsupported file layout] Bad system call (core dumped) madrid# uname -a FreeBSD madrid.hobury.com 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 08:58:24 UTC 2009 root@driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 madrid# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox35 madrid# ll total 79150 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4120 Aug 5 01:11 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 222 Aug 5 01:11 distinfo drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1536 Aug 11 05:45 files -rw------- 1 root wheel 80969728 Aug 11 08:17 firefox-bin.core -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 329 Jun 30 21:27 pkg-descr -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1536 Jul 7 12:56 pkg-message madrid# Also after the following: cd /usr/ports/www/firefox35 make deinstall make reinstall the result is: madrid# /usr/local/bin/firefox3 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /root/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so [/root/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so: unsupported file layout] Bad system call (core dumped) Firefox2 works as designed and can be installed via ports.
