On one of my machines I did as you suggested and both firefox2,3 work now. But 
I am not sure which library was faulty...

"ktrace -i" showed last line:
  firefox-bin CALL  _umtx_op(0x65f8e0,0x8,0x1,0x65f8c0,0)

http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono/ktrace_ff3_ktrace-i.txt

Do you know which port/lib causing this hang on _umtx_op?

Anyway, seem that on my second machine I have to force update all 
dependencies... 

Thanks for your help guys!
