Howdo Anton

Worth checking bugzilla! I semi fixed libvpx so that firefox and seamonkey could build;
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186394

I am still trying to track down an issue that is causing firefox to crash when playing any video on sparc64 (not only VP8/9 encoded ones)

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186580
also includes some fixes for compiling firefox that I think have been pushed upstream

I also have Midori building after fixing webkit-gtk2.

Kind Regards
