I have updated to 9.1 and have updated pkgsrc packages too amongst them firefox.
The rendering with firefox seems to be highly file based: tiles being processed with temporary files. With html pages with a lot of files opened---typically news agregator with a lot of thumbs, a lot of js files, a lot of adds and opening in new tabs---the limits are rapidly reached and the rendering produces black tiles with rendering being stalled and the display, as long as firefox cache is empty, being nonsense. I have increased kern.maxfiles (the default of 956 being too low). But how to increase proc.curproc.rlimit.descriptors.{hard,soft}? Whatever I give to soft, sysctl refuses with "invalid argument". BTW, sysctl(7) still mentions proc.pid but this doesn't exist. Apparently it is proc.curproc now.
