Linux Firefox on FreeBSD-7.2-STABLE

[Martin Cracauer]

I might miss something here, but I find myself knocked out of
firefoxes on FreeBSD-7.2 now.

Firefox-2.x had an autoupdate and since then requires gtk-2.10.  My F8
linux_base only has 2.6.

I then moved over the whole 32 chroot I use on Linux (Debian-stable
i386) using Firefox-3.5b4.  This one isn't stable on FreeBSD-7.2.  It
hangs on a regular basis which I tend to blame on some
threading/concurrency problem (probability of hang is obviously
related to amount of concurrent activity).  I backed out all emulation
kernel changes I have but no change.

Starting Firefox-2.x inside the chroot results in a straight segfault.

What are people using these days?

I would much prefer to keep using a Linux/i386 Firefox since I have one
up-to-date tree that I rsync between all Linux and FreeBSD machines.
