Mozilla Firefox and firebird problems after sat 022604 upgrade of FreeBSD-current

[Michael Clark]

Don,

	I have reported both of these applications, and in fact everything on 
my system with no success via the portupgrade command.  And originally 
by doing make deinstall && make reinstall on the ports.
Should I be doing something different?
