Updating world without global -pam, -polkit and -consolekit use flags in /etc/portage/make.conf have not changed the behaviour of Fireforx described above: it is still cannot display the page https://www.privat24.ua/ and shows "Gah. Your tab just crashed." message. So, I will probably revert changes tomorrow. Playing with strace has been put on todo list. Any more adeas?
