Hmm.  I had a suspicion 'cups' was involved in this.  My test was not
complete as I only built dependencies leading to firefox.  "cups" is
not yet installed.  It will be built as a dependency of other packages.

I have an mp3 recording of OpenBSD developers describing "cups" thusly:

  "You mean that thing that breaks printing completely?"
