Hi ,

I have upgraded FF version from firefox-esr: 24.3.0_2,1 -> 45.6.0_3,1 in
Free BSD 9.2 version using below command in my BSD ,

"pkg install firefox-esr".

After the upgrade I am not able to launch the firefox . When I type firefox
below error message is displayed in my terminal ,


"XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
Shared object "libpixman-1.so.30" not found, required by
"libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0"
Couldn't load XPCOM. "

Please find the below outputs :

Output from 'uname -a' :

FreeBSD pod1201-client11.ibesa 9.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE #0 r255898:
Fri Sep 27 03:52:52 UTC 2013
root at bake.isc.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
 i386

Output from 'ident /usr/ports/www/firefox/Makefile' :

/usr/ports/www/firefox/Makefile:
     $FreeBSD: head/www/firefox/Makefile 433286 2017-02-04 07:56:59Z jbeich
$

Please do let me know what needs to be done for it to work. I am new to BSD
as well.


Thanks & Regards ,
Uma
