Re: pkg/52052 (Firefox 51 will not compile on NetBSD-7.1RC2 Virtual Machine)

In my last response I confused FPU with GPU -so never mind what I said 
about blender, etc.

After bumping up the VM's ram to 4G, I was able to compile firefox in 
virtualbox, and it even runs.

Case closed, I guess? Unless there's any info y'all need from me.

Thanks again!
