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. Did you try the suggestion in the last line? (Update ports tree and try again).

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:
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. Quote:
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/.
