>Description:
I have installed Firefox 2.0.0.12,1 (the latest version) from ports and it will not run. I also had this problem with a previous version (2.0.0.10 I think). I rebuilt firefox with DEBUG and LOGGING flags to get the following error message upon excecution:

WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) failed, file nsXREDirProvider.cpp, line 947
WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) failed, file nsToolkitProfileService.cpp, line 383
