That would be great!
Just a little follow-up. Those are the (manual) steps to get libipc compiled on FreeBSD/amd64, assuming www/firefox3 is already installed: # cd /usr/ports/www/firefox3 # make configure # make build (Be patient, it takes some time) # cd work/mozilla/extensions # <now fetch libipc (ipc-latest.tar.gz) to /path/to/ipc-latest.zip> (source of ipc-latest.tar.gz is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=299132) # tar -xvpf /path/to/ipc-latest.zip # chown -R root:wheel ipc (We now have /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/extensions/ipc) # cd ipc <now: /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/extensions/ipc> # ./makemake -r -o . # gmake (This will create libipc.so, ipc.xpt in: /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/dist/bin/components) # cd /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/dist/bin/components # cp -i libipc.so /usr/local/lib/firefox3/components/ # cp -i ipc.xpt /usr/local/lib/firefox3/components/ (There is no need to install firefox3 again. Only libipc.so and ipc.xpt count) $ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/<the_firefox_profile> $ touch .autoreg (And restart firefox3). With that, firegpg add-on works flawlessly. All this can probably be automated with a slave port of www/firefox3.
