I did not have this problem with firefox installed before my 6.9
-> 7.0 upgrade, but I'm on amd64 :

        lap1$ uname -a
        OpenBSD lap1.josuah.net 7.0 GENERIC.MP#3 amd64

        lap1$ doas pkg_delete firefox
        firefox-95.0.1: ok
        Running tags: ok
        Read shared items: ok

        lap1$ doas pkg_add firefox

What would a pkg_add -u do?

Also, if you have

Alternatives include all these tiny programmable web browsers based
on webkit or alike:

* https://pwmt.org/projects/jumanji/ (webkit/gtk+)
* https://surf.suckless.org/ (webkit/gtk+)
* https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ (webkit/gtk+ or blink/gtk+)
* https://qutebrowser.org/ (webkit/qt)
* https://fanglingsu.github.io/vimb/ (webkit/gtk+)
* ...

Or some long-timers projects that are quite stable and cover quite
enough to get most website content :

* http://www.netsurf-browser.org/ (extremely portable!)
* https://sourceforge.net/projects/midori-browser/ (as on Raspbian)
* ...

But you might encounter increasingly more websites that do not work
with them, as the web grows in complexity.
