Yes, don't expect any help.
And I wouldn't try Firefox - it's a bitch to build at the best of times,
and it requires lots of dependencies. Better to stick to what works.
xchm might do it. I am running one -current package, dovecot, because
it has some features I really liked and I had faith in its stability.
Otherwise, stick to -stable. And don't try -current if you're not
willing to have some fun with glue after the thing falls apart yet
again.
