I'm not sure if it still applies, but in earlier Firefox
version transitions (and the consideration of dependencies)
some programs depending on libxul would install an outdated
Firefox version. The solution has been WITH_GECKO=libxul in
/etc/make.conf so only the current version of this library
would have been installed in the end.
