I was wanting to ask this question for a long time, but you have
beaten me to it :)  I was going to ask specifically if firefox does
depend on libxul that it is necessary?  Otherwise, why do we have to
see this every time we update our ports?  I have seen that there's a
configuration option for libxul so that it can install, but using
portmaster the option is not the same or not present?

Anyone want to take a shot at explaining this never ending libxul-* saga?

Regards,


Antonio
