Yes, I saw that, but the pkg-descr doesn't say what good it is, and the Makefile shows that it's based on 52.5.0, which seems to be rather older than necessary. > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/ Thanks. That helps. I've updated pkg-descr. It also shows that 52.5.0 in fact corresponds to Firefox 57, so the port doesn't help after all. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer.
