libxul.so in linux-firefox tarball has higher version requirements for
glib/gtk dependencies. To alleviate that I've made the port use libxul.so
from linux-seamonkey which also means that the two ports have to be in sync.

At the time linux-firefox was updated to 21.0 there was still some hope
seamonkey 2.18 may happen. Alas, it never did. I've no clue why linux-
ports weren't updated to 22.0/2.19 together with native ones though.

In the meantime just install linux-firefox from our development repo:

$ svn co https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/trunk gecko
$ cd gecko/www/linux-firefox
$ make install

Known issues include:
- java 1.7 plugin load error
- blue tinted people on youtube/flash -> avoid hw render + sw decode
- quakelive addon install -> just unpack to ~/.mozilla/plugins
- no sound with html5 video since 22.0 -> try linux-firefox-esr
- broken chromiumipc, webrtc, google-breakpad
- GL layers crash/hang but WebGL works fine
- about:memory's measure doesn't work -> try linux-firefox-esr
