Why did you skip security/nss update to 3.17 ? It contains CA root
changes from 3.16.4 and there's no nss-pem port yet to read from
openssl format.

I did initial |svn cp| for the wrong revision in freebsd-gecko repo.
Fixing this would require testing again, at least Mk/Uses/gecko.mk 

Betas are usually released once or twice a week. Mid-term in the cycle
EARLY_BETA flag is removed which may disable features not yet ready.
In case of 33.0 iteration that'd be Mozilla Loop i.e., the handset
button in the top right corner that intends one day to replace Skype.

browser/app/profile/firefox.js:
  // Enable by default development builds up until early beta
  #ifdef EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER
  pref("loop.enabled", true);
  #else
  pref("loop.enabled", false);
  #endif

By hasty downgrade the following files were removed prematurely

  patch-bug1015547
  patch-bug1026828
  patch-bug779713

and linux-firefox is left at 33.0b1, the version not supported by
firefox-i18n port now at 32.0.
