Thanks for your prompt reply. I run under the debugger, did a
portupgrade of ORBit2, glib and gconf2. It now works swimmingly.

Is it possible a library dependancy needs to be added to the firefox 
Makefile?  I confess not to really understanding what is going on
here with USE_GNOME and LIB_DEPENDS, but I did do a 

	portupgrade -Rf firefox

which I would have thought would have done trick.  On the other hand, 
maybe as you say it was just some wierd state my ports system got into.
