That looks like a useful feature. But why is it saying this?
pkg: (firefox-17.0.1,1) shared library libxpcom.so not found
pkg: (firefox-17.0.1,1) shared library libmozalloc.so not found
(lots more output snipped)
$ locate libxpcom.so
/usr/local/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so
$ locate libmozalloc.so
/usr/local/lib/firefox/libmozalloc.so
$ file /usr/local/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so
/usr/local/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64,
version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, stripped
$ file /usr/local/lib/firefox/libmozalloc.so
