Try doing "ldd /usr/local/lib/firefox3/firefox-bin" and see if anything
looks weird.
You can porbably ignore
/usr/local/lib/firefox3/firefox-bin:
libxul.so => not found (0x0)
libmozjs.so => not found (0x0)
libxpcom.so => not found (0x0)
because run-mozilla.sh sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
/usr/local/lib/firefox3 where these libraries are installed.
I merely deleted my old firefox 3.6 and reinstalled from the port (on
9-CURRENT AMD64) and haven't seen any problems. But of course, I've
been running various incarnations of 3.6 for a while and may have gotten
all the dependencies already correctly installed.
