Today, I upgraded Firefox 3.5.7 (built yesterday) to Firefox 3.6. After
deleting ~/.mozilla (after I did a buckup, of course), I tried a fresh
start of 'firefox3'. After firefox showed up, I realized that no
option-field (File, Extras etc) can be used, they are dead and after a
few seconds I clicked them, firefox3 is crashing.
Since I recompiled firefox 3.5.7 yesterday I was wondering if this is
due to some 'false' lib or dependency. Since I figured that I have
similar trouble with Thunderbird 3.0.1 after I installed it, I suspect a
faulty library causing this behaviour. With Thunderbird 3, I never
solved the problem although I tried to rebuild everything with
thunderbird via 'portmaster -f'. I'll did this with firefox 3.6 also,
but with no success.
The crashing is observed on two nearly identical SMP FreeBSD 8.0/amd64
STABLE boxes (make world of today), up-to-date ports. The crash is NOT
observed on my private oldish UP box, nearly the same setup, OS at the
same revision and ports up to date as of yesterday. Maybe this could be
a hint.
Any hints or suggestions?
Try doing "ldd /usr/local/lib/firefox3/firefox-bin" and see if anything
looks weird.
I did - and there is nothing weird.
I checked the installed libraries and they are all rebuild when
rebuilding necessary dependencies for firefox3.
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.

I tried again, left the 'make config'-options as they were set by
default, delete/backuped .mozilla in my home and they restartet
firefox3. Nothing better than previously seen. Try hitting Button
'Tools' at the top menu bar gives a menu after several seconds, then
firefox crashes/core dumps.
