Welcome back! Thanks for the praise, though I think landry did most of
the work that I just adjusted for librewolf. Sounds good; I too look
forward to continue working with you and the ports team.

I missed the removal of Xtst, and as for freebl3, it was pulled in from
previous a port-lib-depends-check suggestion and wasn't sure to
remove it when it was no longer suggested in 154.x.

The patch applied cleanly. I am currently building qt6-6.11.2 and some
reverse dependencies, so I might be a while before I can compile this. Sorry.

I think it looks like it should do just fine though. Might miss
offline translation personally, but honestly seems like a sane
default. Don't see any grammar, spelling, or other issues.

If you already built this subsequent iteration this then I would concur
getting this into cvs.

Thanks for the update.

Hope this helps. Happy hacking everybody! May you have a good one.
