It might seem like it. but that is not the problem:
tingo at kg-core1$ linux-firefox -safe-mode

(firefox:79317): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I really don't know why it complains about memory; this machine has 32
GB RAM, and currently only 12.6 GB is used.

Testing of FreeBSD 10.* is ongoing; when I'm ready to switch is far
too early to say.

This sounds (I know that it might not be intended that way) like you
saying "only poudriere jails are supported; portupgrade and portmaster
are not".

Well, you see, at this point in time, I'm in trouble solving mode. I'm
trying to get myself a  working browser (currently using Opera,
workable in Gmail, unusable many other places) on my FreeBSD
workstation so that I can be a bit productive again.
So a suggestion to change a lot of things (linux- ports) sounds like
"yes, let's change a lot of additional ports and increase the work
needed to test all this" just now doesn't look like the smartest thing
I might do. If all else faiils (but why should it?) I might be forced
to try that as well.
