Newly-upgraded firefox-19.0,1 segfaults just after startup

I'm in the habit of tracking stable/9 daily, and once I boot the new
kernel (& world), I update the inistalled ports on my laptop usinig
portmaster.

The past several updates for firefox have been uneventful (though a bit
time-consuming) ... until today.

Today, the updates seemed to be OK, but when I start firefox, I get a
segmentation fault.

I tried creating a new ("vanilla") profile and starting with that; the
segfault remains.

In <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/firefox/>, one may find:

[TXT] debug_session.txt       20-Feb-2013 09:57   11K  
[TXT] dmesg.boot.txt          20-Feb-2013 06:48   10K  
[TXT] portmaster_run.txt      20-Feb-2013 06:48   11M  

* debug_session.txt is a cut/paste showing what I see when I try running
  gdb against the firefox.core.  (Not much, as I don't normally build
  everything with debugging symbols.)

* dmesg.boot.txt is a copy of /var/run/dmesg.boot on the affected
  system.  Here's "uname -a" output:

FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #380  r247019M/247030: Wed Feb 20 05:54:53 PST 2013     root at g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

  I note, too, that this is a dual-core machine.

* portmaster_run.tx is a copy of the typescript from the portmaster run.
  (I tend to do these updates within script(1).)

I'm rather at a loss to know what else would be useful or helpful,
so if I've overlooked something, please let me know.  I've included
my address on the Reply-To hint, as I'm not subscribed to gecko at .

Thanks!

Peace,
david
