I have working Firefox/0.8 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD sparc64; ru-RU;
rv:1.6) Gecko/20040407 Firefox/0.8) compiled from ports with
XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_6.

Also, I use old Mozilla 1.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD sparc64; en-US;
rv:1.6) Gecko/20040407) compiled from ports with same XFree86 libraries.

Both working packages compiled 7-8 Apr 2004 on FreeBSD/sparc64 5.2-CURRENT.

Old package of Firefox/0.8 working with xorg-libraries-6.7.0_2.
(I remove new version and force install package and symlinking new version
of many shared libraries to old version, for example:
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.400 -> /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.200,
/usr/X11R6/lib/libpango-1.0.so.399 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libpango-1.0.so.200)
