Hi Solene,
After /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/firefox:
D-BUS
=====
For proper integration with various desktop-oriented components, firefox
needs a session bus instance running.
If you're not running a desktop environment that takes care of it,
refer to /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/dbus-* to configure your
session startup script to start one.
Without a session bus running, the port is faking one (see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1466593), but GLIB might
still try
to spawn one which might lead to a 'proc' pledge violation in the
content
process.
Could you elaborate on "is known to not work properly if dbus is
not started", please?
I've been using Firefox for years and never had dbus running.
Regards,
Raf
