Did you know www/firefox requires *both* Python versions to build? ;)

Mk/bsd.gecko.mk:
  USES+=		... python:2.7,build ...

  .if ${MOZILLA_VER:R:R} >= 61
  BUILD_DEPENDS+=	${LOCALBASE}/bin/python${PYTHON3_DEFAULT}:lang/python${PYTHON3_DEFAULT:S/.//g}
  MOZ_EXPORT+=	PYTHON3="${LOCALBASE}/bin/python${PYTHON3_DEFAULT}"
  .endif
