I did update ports and also rebuilt X. Perhaps it is a Firefox problem? This is the error after Firefox had installed gmake and moved to gettext: "Can't install gettext-0.14.5 because of conflicts (gettext-0-10-40p3)" There were no applications previous to this Firefox install, excepting those already in OpenBSD. There is not a ports index to update or reindex, or the like? Maybe Firefox is broken for -current and I will need to use Mozilla 1.7. Thanks, Darrel
