Well, that doesn't help very much. As R. Noland wrote, the error coming
up isn't of any harm.

I still have Firefox3 not working on a FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/AMD64 UP box,
running the most recent FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT and having now recompiled
three time EVERYTHING, Firefox3 inclusive. Firefox3 is still stuck when
it comes to pulldown menus or requester for download destination, eating
up 100% CPU time and slowing down the box incredible. I pretty sure I
have all the stuff of the X11 suite in the right place and the right
revision number, as I said, I recompiled everything three times and I
did several attempts upgrading the whole Xorg since sunday last week.
Also a deletion of the ports has been performed and then reinstalled. I
can not asure that there is any zomby-library out there disturbing the
build-process, but I doubt this. I did a 'ldd' on the Firefox3 binary
and  I got the attached dump of the linked shared objects.
Interestingly, the first three entries show up something missing -
therefore I deinstalled Firefox and rebuild the browser after an
additional rebuild of libxcb (via portupgrade -rf). Previously, all Xorg
stuff has been rebuild and by the numbers it seems to be up to date.
I double checked if /usr/local/lib/firefox3 has been completely removed
and for the user's stuff, I deleted the entire ~/.mozilla folder and
started Firefox3 from scratch - everytime with the same result.

Firefox3 did not show these symptomes on a FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE/AMD64 SMP
box, also with most recent sources and undergone the same three time
recompilation of everything procedure. Unlucklily, I do not have another
UP box running FreeBSD 8.0/amd64 for double check this behaviour. Bevor
filing a PR, I would like to ask the list ...

Thanks in advance,

Oliver
