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.

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.
