+ The default Gecko provider has been changed from www/firefox to
+ www/libxul. Firefox 2.x is now forbidden for security reasons, and
+ libxul is the new, stable Geck provider. Libxul uses the same Gecko
+ engine as Firefox 3.0.x.
+
+ Some ports may fail to upgrade or run when both www/firefox and libxul
+ are installed on the same system. To make sure everything runs smoothly,
+ uninstall www/firefox, then install libxul, then upgrade the affected
+ ports.
