I just want to report that I'm no longer having a problem after a complete system refresh. I upgraded to -CURRENT (mostly for better gjournal support, not because of anything in this thread), uninstalled all my ports, deleted the /var/db/ports directory, removed /usr/X11R6 entirely, set $X11BASE to /usr/local in /etc/make.conf, removed everything but a few config files in /usr/local, and installed everything again. Between the firefox issue I was seeing, the gettext upgrade, and upgrading to -CURRENT I definitely needed to reinstall everything anyway. I decided to go ahead and make the X11BASE change so my life will be easier when the default gets changed. (I'm already running the experimental modularXorg ports tree.)

GTK filedialog crashes Firefox/Thunderbird
It seems that I'm having problems (again) with the GTK filedialog in Firefox/Thunderbird. It happens when saving or opening a file in Firefox or thunderbird resulting in a crash. What to do: - Open Firefox - Save a file, the save-file dialog comes up, Save or cancel it. - Save a file, when the file dialog comes up, file dialog hangs and after a second or something firefox crashes Same thing happens when trying to open a file using the file dialog a second time, and same for thunderbird: The second time the GTK file dialog comes up it seems to crash firefox or thunderbird. When I was running firefox-1.5 there was the exact same problem which was fixed in one of the developement releases and when first running Fx-2 I didn't have any problems with it either. I checked in the gimp and geany if there were problems with the file dialog but it worked fine in those programs.
