- Never run Firefox under root. Please tell if it doesn't help
  you.
- CC maintainer of the port when its not working (run "make
  maintainer" to get his address).
- Don't start new threads on mailing-lists by hitting the "reply"
  button. Users of sane user agents will see your new question as
  part of some old discussion and have a good chance to miss it.
