>Description:

It appears that the current port of Firefox version 1.0.6 isn't entirely compatile with
the version of gtk (gtk+-2.6.10) that it calls for as a dependency.  When I built firefox
on a system that is NOT a Gnome system) and ran it I got the following:

(firefox-bin:99270): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
*** nsExtensionManager::_disableObsoleteExtensions - failure, catching exception so finalize window can close
*** loading the extensions datasource

(firefox-bin:99270): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
*** loading the extensions datasource

I have seen a report on the Internet that updating to a more current version of GTK
fixed this.   Despire this error Firefox did run, but I don't know if this might cause
trouble with something else.  Perhaps a patch to Firefox is in order?
