That was the first time I noticed that X was broken. I can't say when it worked the last time because I don't use X on this machine regularly. I build X with env CFLAGS=-g make build, it was the first X build on this machine, so xobj was clean. I'm seeing similar crashes like you with firefox. Other X using ports don't seem to have such issues. gvim, midori, gkrellm, qemu all work so far. I'll build a firefox package with debug symbols to see how this works out.
