Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering platform,
which has been under development for the past 9 months. Firefox 3.1
is an incremental release on the previous version with significant
changes to improve web compatibility, performance, and ease of use:
* Improved the new Private Browsing Mode.
* Improvements to web worker thread support.
* Improved performance and stability with the new TraceMonkey
JavaScript engine.
* New native JSON support.
* Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing
for faster content rendering.
* Support for new web technologies such as the <video> and <audio> elements,
the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties,
SVG transforms and offline applications.

which got lost with the switch to bsd.gecko.mk:
Work around the miscompilation/mislinkage problem of the sCanonicalVTable
hacks in the XPCOM string code on sparc64 by omitting the code in question
and bump PORTREVISIONs accordingly.

plugins support one of web browsers and can take care of plist (depend on how
you use it) at the same time. I have written a complete document and even show
how it works in the www/firefox/Makefile.webplugins so be sure to read in
there. If there is anything that isn't clear in the document, please feel free
to ask and I will try my best to improvement it.
FYI: GNOME 2.24 depends on this, so it's coming.
BTW: It's based on www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi with heavy modified.

perl unconditonally, or conditionally. To be able to conditionalize the
inclusion of bsd.perl.mk, they now need to be defined before the inclusion
of bsd.port.pre.mk.

extensions (in particular typeaheadfind breaks Find [go figure]). It is
safer to use a specific list of extensions with Firefox 1.0.x. It looks
like they've made this better in 1.5, and set a reasonable default list of
extensions.
Basically, we're back to the previous 1.0.7_1,1 set of extensions with the
addition of negotiateauth.

- Add Java 5 plugins support. [1]
- Use system's libm (/usr/src/lib/msun), nss, nspr and etc. Also, do
not extract those. Better explain, use external dependencies. [1]
- Teach firefox-config and *.pc files for nspr that will making other
third apps to buildable like epiphany, vlc-devel's mozilla plugins
and etc. Have been tested with full GNOME 2.11.x build too.
- Add four patches: [1]
patch-bugzilla243151:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243151
patch-jsosdep:
Fix the FreeBSD define
patch-oji-threads:
64-bit wide pthread_t
patch-xptcinvoke_x86_64_linux:
Setting a possibly uninitialized variable (value).
- Fix a crash that can occur using gtk+-2.7 and possibly 2.6.10 when closing
windows. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3002 [2]
- Get rid of FIREFOX and FF_VER, best to use PORTNAME and PORTVERSION
varibles that are arleady exist and lesser complicate.
- Change all hardcore of 'firefox' to PORTNAME.
- Change a manual loop for patch all.js to find(1), so we can sleep
on it.
