 hmm, i've done some investigation ... so 
 linux-mozillafirebird is deprecated port , because firebird changed it's name 
 to firefox to avoid conflicting with another opensource process FireBird 
 Database server(InterBase derived). By now repository linux-mozillafirebird 
 and linux-mozillafirefox projects are same thing - allowing you to get linux 
 binary of browser and run it. but i can see that native firefox port works 
 well and allows same things . so propably linux-mozillafirefox port should be 
 removed at all. not sure about linux-mozillafirebird, because there can be 
 other port s depending on it.
