But it doesn't work, and neither does the formulat actually given in the
makefile.  From checkin comments a few months back, I think this
capability is on hold waiting for xulrunner 1.9.  Don't quote me on
that, though; I don't quite understand some of the mechanisms in use.

Yeah, it's really from the gecko handling.  According to
Mk/bsd.gecko.mk, I think you could add something like the following to
make.conf to do what you need:

USE_GECKO= firefox3<->firefox

It's like the cat dragged in firefox2 despite use of 3.5 for actual
browsing :(  Is there a good way to resolve these dependencies through
firefox3 or 3.5 short of ditching gnome?

Firefox was EOL in December 2008.  No security updates or fixes will be 
released for it.


http://www.linuxjournal.com/print/1007661

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox

It should be removed from the ports tree.

Given the above, it should be affected. Reading the original documents it 
doesn't show. And I can't find anywhere that firefox 2 is End of Life.

If that's ancient, you should do a find /usr/ports -name Makefile -exec ident 
{} +|grep ' 200[67]/'.

Are problem with  firefox-2.0.0.20_9,1 or not, please.


That port should probably be removed.  It's ancient.

Use /usr/ports/www/firefox3 or /usr/ports/www/firefox3.5
