If you're not running a desktop environment that takes care of it, refer to /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/dbus-* to configure your session startup script to start one. Without a session bus running, the port is faking one (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1466593), but GLIB might still try to spawn one which might lead to a 'proc' pledge violation in the content process. Could you elaborate on "is known to not work properly if dbus is not started", please? I've been using Firefox for years and never had dbus running. Regards, Raf

Is it owned by your user? For dbus, I don't know exactly what dbus-launch do, but you must either start the service messagebus using rcctl enable messagebus && rcctl start messagebus or start it at the beginning of your ~/.xsession, firefox is known to not work properly if dbus is not started. You should have an environment variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

Yes, I start firefox with 'dbus-launch firefox'

cannot set firefox as default
This is firefox-72.0.2 on a fresh current/amd64. Upon start, it asks to be the default browser. I click yes, but the setting does not get saved: Cannot set application as default for URI scheme (http): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory Cannot set application as default for URI scheme (https): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory Cannot set application as default for URI scheme (ftp): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory Cannot set application as default for URI scheme (chrome): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory Cannot set application as default for MIME type (text/html): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory Cannot set application as default for extension (htm): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory Cannot set application as default for MIME type (application/xhtml+xml): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory Cannot set application as default for extension (xhtml): Cant create user MIME configuration folder /home/hans/.config: No such file or directory and on the next start, it asks again. Is this unveil preventing firefox from seeing ~/.config? (It does exist, and contains other programs' settings.) Jan
