firefox build error..

[kalin mintchev]

  thanks... but i'm not a huge fan of pkges...  i prefer the ports..

  i'd ratter build it then use builded stuff.

  i tried tonight again. updated ports but the firefox or mozilla ports
were unchanged...

  when will the port be usable? i miss firefox already...

  thanks...
