Hi there, 

Has the below issue been resolved ? (Since Apr 10, 2016)

Because I encountered the exact same issue on May 4th 2016, 
encountered the message here ↓ 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.gecko/5613

so accessed the original message here ->  https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gecko/2016-April/006226.html

and it seems to have been resolved.

* exact same platform (FreeBSD 10.3R as shown below)

* did Firefox pkg update ( ver. 45 -> 46 )

* encountered the same error message when I tried to launch Firefox after update

--
% firefox &

/usr/local/lib/libgtk-3.so.0: Undefined symbol "g_param_spec_get_name_quark"


and Firefox doesn't launch.

<Solution (How it was solved on my env )>

* Shared Library env update by (root) : 

# /etc/rc.d/ldconfig restart

-> No effect.


* checked around GTK3 env  -> Not solved at first

* did all the pkg upgrade   -> solved (Firefox to be launched again)

# pkg upgrade

Sorry not digging the issue deeper but when on " # pkg upgrade " , 

I noticed below.  Is this related ... ??
Mmm, Firefox has no relation to WebKit2 so probably not, isn't it ... ?

New packages to be INSTALLED:
:
                  :
        webkit2-gtk3: 2.8.5_2
:
                  :

Cheers

Hi,

After upgrading from 10.3RC2 to 10.3, firefox stopped working.

Here are the error and details:

/usr/local/lib/libgtk-3.so.0: Undefined symbol "g_param_spec_get_name_quark"
