I'll let you know if that works. I did a cvsup last night. Wasn't really watching it, but it was over pretty quickly, so I'd say that there wasn't that much change. Anyways, this is what I have now: FreeBSD sunny.rz1.convenimus.net 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Sun Jan 21 12:52:35 CET 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SUNNY sparc64 Gotta change the name of the computer. Sunny is just too corny! :-) Not much has changed apart from the dates. And nothing has changed regarding Firefox. I completely deinstalled it - which took its sweet time. :-) And I also deinstalled Thunderbird and all of the dependencies of those two that I could find. Then I reinstalled Firefox with pkg_add -r in case there was an update in the tree. I still get that segfault, so I'm afraid someone may be looking a little longer there.

Lucky you! :-) I don't have the machine up right now to tinker with, though. That would have been an interesting test. Are you running the latest -stable on the box? Yes (as of 2 days ago). If you don't get enough help on this list, you could also try the sparc64 list. It's true that some things in the sparc64 port don't get tested as much as they do in other ports of FreeBSD, but there are enough users that common programs such as Firefox should be expected to work. Apart from your post, there wasn't anything else. :-( I'll try the other mailing list.
