Hi,

I could run firefox-31.0 fine under NetBSD/amd64 6.1.4 with native xorg.
I will try to build firefox-31.0 with modular xorg this weekend hopefully.
And I will improve pkgsrc-2013Q2. firefox-31.0 should be pulled up
to pkgsrc-2013Q2, because it is ESR.

But my laptop is broken and my productivity is very low...
Please give me some days.

Thank you.
