Hi,

for those who dont follow ports-changes@, i've updated
www/mozilla-firefox to version 46.0, and following upstream this now
defaults to use Gtk+3 toolkit. There were issues with Gtk 3.20, but
most/all have been solved by taking a jumbo patch from Fedora (see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234158 among others) -
so besides theme changes and graphics glitches, this change should be
transparent to end-users.

If you want to stay with Gtk+2, install firefox-esr, but the latter will
move to Gtk+3 when it is updated to 52. I *might* provide the
infrastructure to build gtk2 FLAVORs like it was possible for gtk3 since
firefox 30, but this is not done, and i wont spend time on this unless
there's a real need.

At the same time, i've enabled (well, stopped disabling) WebRTC code -
nothing in it has changed OpenBSD-wise in the past months, but i'm not
in a position to debug/test it much myself nowadays, so end-users get to
dogfood it. Since it works on Linux/etc, it should mostly work on
OpenBSD, besides sound needing more love (ping ratchov@)- webcam sortof
worked last i tried, as data channels. If you want to test it, there are
plenty of example sites around, start with the ones linked on
https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/

If you have issues/crashes, direct your reports to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and cc me there.

If you dont like it or have security concerns for the paranoids, set
media.peerconnection.enabled to false in about:config.
