 Hello,
 
 I just installed the official 3.6.2 port.
 This is my output from pkg_info:
   firefox-3.6.2,1
   firefox-i18n-3.6.2
 
 After starting Firefox with my existing ~/.mozilla
 settings directory it crashed immediately.
 
 After renaming ~/.mozilla, Firefox started.
 Non-https connections worked (as expected).
 
 Then I tried this:
 
 1. One of my websites with a certificate from cacert.org.
  Firefox complained as expected. After confirming to add a
  security exception Firefox correctly showed my site.
 
 2. The banking portal of Deutsche Bank: Firefox hangs.
 
 3. The banking portal of Sparkasse Siegen: Firefox hangs.
 
 4. I manually imported cacert's root certificate. Now my
  website certified from cacert became inaccessible and Firefox hanged too!
 
 5. I deleted the security exception for my site and cacert's certificate.
  After restarting Firefox (not before) my site was accessible again
  after confirming a security exception as above.
 
 Does this help?
 Is there any information from my FreeBSD installation that could help?
