Hi,

this is an update for www/firefox35

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox35
# make configure
# make build

(Be patient, it takes some time)

# cd work/mozilla-1.9.1/extensions

# <now fetch libipc (ipc-latest.tar.gz) to /path/to/ipc-latest.zip>

(source of ipc-latest.tar.gz is
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=299132)

# tar -xvpf /path/to/ipc-latest.zip
# chown -R root:wheel ipc

(We now have /usr/ports/www/firefox35/work/mozilla-1.9.1/extensions/ipc)

# cd ipc <now: /usr/ports/www/firefox35/work/mozilla-1.9.1/extensions/ipc>

# ./makemake -r -o .

Here, you need to manually edit (like this):
  Makefile            (topsrcdir = ../..)
  build/Makefile      (topsrcdir = ../../..)
  public/Makefile     (topsrcdir = ../../..)
  src/Makefile        (topsrcdir = ../../..)

# gmake

(This will create libipc.so, ipc.xpt in:
  /usr/ports/www/firefox35/work/mozilla-1.9.1/dist/bin/components)

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox35/work/mozilla-1.9.1/dist/bin/components
# cp -i libipc.so /usr/local/lib/firefox3/components/
# cp -i ipc.xpt /usr/local/lib/firefox3/components/

(There is no need to install firefox3 again. Only libipc.so and ipc.xpt count)

$ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/<the_firefox_profile>
$ touch .autoreg

(And restart firefox3). 

With that, firegpg add-on works flawlessly.

All this can probably be automated with a slave port of www/firefox35.

IMPORTANT: you don't want to use the port www/xpi-firegpg. It is extremely
outdated (firegpg-0.5.2).

Regards,
-cpghost.
