I'm looking for testers to try out a patch that fixes the problem where
Firefox wants to be run as root for the first time.  It seems to work
fine for me, but I want to make sure it does the trick on a wide variety
of setups.

To test this, download the patch from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/firefox.diff, and apply it to the
firefox port with the following sequence:

# cd /usr/ports/www
# patch -p < /path/to/firefox.diff

Then upgrade firefox with portupgrade.  To verify the patch is working,
start firefox from a terminal.  You should no longer see the error about
running Firefox as root.

This patch does not attempt to address the recently reported crash with
JavaScript pop-up windows.  That problem has already been reported to
the Mozilla developers in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264557.

Joe
