Bob,
I bet your problems are related to building from ports. I used to have
lots of troubles when trying to build directly from the ports tree or
using portmaster/portupgrade - either it couldn't built cleanly or the
applications were misbehaving in all sort of strange ways. I switched to
poudriere and now FreeBSD packages are just joy to use. Setting up
poudriere is very easy, but if it is still to much please give
https://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/synth a try.
BTW when I try to open cnn.com I am being redirected to
http://edition.cnn.com/
Even if you built from ports you should still have the old version of
Firefox in /usr/ports/distfiles

Thanks for the reply Grzegroz. I've since discovered that I still do
get the dialog box about the stopped script popping up sometimes (even
when I don't go to cnn.com, though that seems to exacerbate it).
Just for completeness, here's the text of the recent popup:
=============================================================================
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can
stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script
continue.
Script: http://ajax.cloudflare.com/cdn#loudflare.min.js line 4 > eval:2

I really need to revert back to 46 somehow. The new version (47) just isn't
usable in my environment. I've been performing a ports build/install, I'm
thinking I will try simply doing a 'pkg install' next.

Hi Bob,
I don't believe it's possible to revert ports to a previous version
(other than through SVN). However, if you have the older version of the
firefox package (e.g.
/usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/your-system/All) you should be able
to just point pkg to it.
But before doing that I would suggest to reset your Firefox settings
just in case this problem is caused by an extension or other improper
configuration (e.g. by renaming the .mozilla/firefox folder or using the
FF setting that I don't remember now). You could also try to open
cnn.com in a private window where the plugins are disabled by default.

Hi Grzegorz,
I altered my configuration to match what you list below and rebuilt/installed
firefox. I no longer get the dialog box about the script not working but
cnn.com still doesn't load as expected. It now will eventually complete but it
takes several minutes (I didn't precisely time it, but it's about 4 or 5
minutes) during which time firefox doesn't respond to any input at all. It
does seem to eventually complete transferring data and updating but then
firefox becomes very slow and unresponsive.
So, what is the best way to revert back to version 46? I really can't use
47 with the way it is behaving now.
Thanks,
Bob

Not sure why the file contains 45.0.1_3,1, probably because it hasn't
changed since then:
g@crayon2:~ % pkg info | grep firefox
firefox-47.0_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion
of Mozilla

I updated my firefox 46.0.1 to 47.0_1.1 yesterday (Sunday) and now when I go
out to cnn.com it hangs, eventually putting up a dialog box telling me that a
script has stop working (or something similar). Nothing I've tried so far
seems to help and I wind up having to kill firefox.
Anyone else experiencing this? Not that other sites (besides cnn.com) have
hung on me as well, but cnn.com seems to be the worst (fails the quickest,
within seconds of going there).
