Ok, I finally figured out how to get portdowngrade to give me a

No easy answers. I, also have no issues with 47.0 on my system and there
are no other reports of the problem you are having. So where to look?
What version of FreeBSD are you running? On what platform? i386 or
amd64 or
something else. Most people are running amd64. If ir is another
platform,
issues are less likely to have been seen. Is it 10.3 or something else.
Unless someone else has a better suggestion, I'd re-install all
dependencies. Older versions are more likely to have issues.I use
portmaster, but I know portupgrade can also do this. Or use packages.
It's
a lot faster when you don't need any options on the ports.
Other than that, I have no good ideas other than to re-install
everything.
And that may not fix it as it is possible that it's a memory or other
hardware issue.
I hope someone else has a better idea than I.

+1 on packages, *much* faster & same end result if you have no special
compile options ....
I second that and repeat what I said before. If you want to compile your
own packages with custom options then fine, but do it properly with
either poudriere or synth. Otherwise, just use the FreeBSD generic ones.
Portupgrade and portmaster are fine but only as long as they work, and
from my experience sooner or later they always stop working and from
then there is going to be a path of misery, wasted time and broken
applications.
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. It's just the victim.
That sounds bad indeed. Have you tried to reinstall using the official
pkg repository (not compiled on your machine)?
BTW Firefox 47 just started crashing today for me. Nothing to do with
scripts, some exception in one of the *.c files (according to the
popup). I am now creating a new batch of packages with poudriere and
will try to upgrade to a newer version.
