 Look at the commit log:
 
 - prune support for old FreeBSD versions; users of 8.2, 7.4 or earlier
   are advised to upgrade - http://www.freebsd.org/security/
 
 It refers to
 
 http://trillian.chruetertee.ch/freebsd-gecko/changeset/1195 # pragmas
 http://trillian.chruetertee.ch/freebsd-gecko/changeset/1211 # tls
 
 > 	../../dist/bin/libxul.so: undefined reference to `thr_self(long*)'
 
 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/206903 # for thr_self() visibility
 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/225582 # to avoid crash in TLS
 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/219639 # to build NSS on amd64
 
 And for 8.x packages:
