Another thing that doesn't work is rebuilding firefox from the ground up

Of course firefox will not run from the command line ("Error: no display
specified"), but there are no messages as firefox fails repeated to load
twitter pages fully when firefox is launched in an xterm.

make.conf:

QT4_OPTIONS=	CUPS
WITH_GCC = yes
# added by use.perl 2012-07-03 02:17:12
PERL_VERSION=5.16.0


I hate GUIs, so my mouse-fu skills are not good enough to copy about.config,
but here is a "save as"
