Possible bug in Firefox Port

[Alan McFarlane]

I've been trying to get Firefox running on my system (FreeBSD 5.4-SECURITY),
but appear to be having a little problem.. (see below)

I've tried a make rmconfig and a make clean, and a make distclean but to no
avail.
I've also removed the firefox-1.0.7-source.tar.bz2 from the
/usr/ports/distfiles directory howver the problem still arises.

As a final measure, I use pkg_add -r firefox, but as this installs firefox
1.0.3,1 this is not really much use, (it may work for general use, however
certain facilities - notably plugins, extensions and themes from mozilla's
own site - require more recent version).

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
