Firefox port problems

Hello Maintainer!

I'm using Firefox 1.0.6 (firefox-1.0.6_1,1) on FreeBSD 5.4. Firefox
crashes when i invoke the ProfileManager, using firefox
-profilemanager or firefox -p. The error message is:

(Gecko:67474): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has
wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
Gecko: Fatal IO error 78 (Function not implemented) on X server :0.0.

The first error happens also when i use only "firefox" (thus no
profilemanager), so that shouldn't be the problem. It's the second
error that causes the crash i think. It just exits after that error
message.

I tried deleting ~/.mozilla and recompiling, but the error stays. But
after googling i discovered that the "SMB" option in "make config" was
the problem. If compiled without the SMB option, the problem
disappears.

I think this is related to the FreeBSD port of firefox, so i'm
reporting this to you.

Thanks!

Veronica


P.S. Would it be nice to make a firefox-devel port to follow the
alpha's, beta's and RC's of firefox?
