"comment 0 also said "it fails to run" without quoting the actual errors
suggests the reporter knows better than maintainer which is why the focus is on
pkg and not firefox. ;)"

Well, that's the thing -- it didn't say anything, it just failed to run.  If it
wrote something to some log (what log?) it didn't say anything about that,
either.  It should at a *minimum* write STDOUT with "I couldn't run.  Details
in /usr/local/logs/firefox-esr.log" or similar.

The way fBSD apps report problems gets up my human-factors nostril.  It reminds
me of the original C compiler:  "you have an error".  Oh? Do you think you're
adding to my knowledge, you ridiculous piece of software?  I actually worked
out for myself that there was an error when my code didn't execute!
