Default Epiphany and Firefox2 wont update

Trying to update Epiphany I get the following error message.

Code:
===>>> Starting build for www/epiphany <<<===

===>>> Starting check for build dependencies
===>>> Gathering dependency list for www/epiphany from ports
===>>> Starting dependency check
===>>> Launching child to update firefox-2.0.0.20,1 to firefox-2.0.0.20_9,1

I have uninstalled Firefox2,but I still get error message.
Can't find anything in /usr/ports/UPDATING unless of course I missed it.

The problem is:

Code:
===>  firefox-2.0.0.20_9,1 has known vulnerabilities:
=> mozilla -- multiple vulnerabilities.
   Reference: <http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/49e8f2ee-8147-11de-a994-0030843d3802.html>
=> Please update your ports tree and try again.
Ports refuse to install when there are known vulnerabilities.
Did you try the suggestion in the last line? (Update ports tree and try again).

Carpetsmoker.

Yes I did update my ports tree.but to no effect,but what did work was to add xulrunner to USE_GECKO+= in Epiphany makefile.
Not sure if that is the right way to go but Epiphany updated no problem.
Assuming that is the right way to go,is there a code that would cover all ports that depend on Firefox2 and its vulnerabilities rather than change each makefile for the relevant port.

http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/49e8f2e...0843d3802.html says the following firefox versions are affected:
Quote:
firefox <3.*,1
firefox >3.*,1 <3.0.13,1
firefox >3.5.*,1 <3.5.2,1
linux-firefox <3.*,1
linux-firefox >3.*,1 <3.0.13,1
linux-firefox >3.5.*,1 <3.5.2,1
linux-firefox-devel <3.5.2
I looked at the firefox website, and as far as I could see I could not find anything about firefox 2. It would seem firefox 2 is EOL and a fix might never be released.

If you want to use the firefox browser, then there are two options:
1) Use firefox 3.0 or 3.5 (www/firefox3, www/firefox35)
2) Ignore the security problem and install firefox anyway by defining the DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES variable. Be sure to read and understand the issue and the impact it may have, if you do not, I would highly recommend using option 1.

Hm, it does look like ports still want www/firefox instead of www/firefox30 or www/firefox35.
You can set WITH_GECKO in /etc/make.conf to specify a system-wide preference.
Acceptable values are:
firefox nvu seamonkey thunderbird xulrunner flock mozilla libxul

All of them are ports which live in www/.
