Bug 220581: www/firefox depends on kitchen sink
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220581



--- Description ---
More recent firefox build removed toolkit option (April 11, 438318 by jbeich)
so there is no way to build it without pulling in the entire linux/freedesktop
world.  That is due entirely to gtk3's tightly coupled integration with atk
which demands dbus.  So the firefox 'dbus' option is totally irrelevant now
since it is always pulled in.  Is gtk3 really that necessary?  If so it should
be patched to remove the atk/dbus dependency, or just add gtk2 support back to
FF.
