www/firefox bug amd64

I installed www/firefox from ports. Everything went ok, firefox even ran 
fine for a few hours. After a little browsing, firefox exhibited periods 
of non-responsiveness. Now, every time I open firefox, the window comes 
up but it locks up and never draws anything into the main content area. 
Recompiling/reinstalling does not help. I recently installed FreeBSD 6 
on an amd64 computer so maybe it's a 64-bit thing. I can reproduce the 
problem simply by running firedox.
