So i did extensive testing by building complete pkgsrc release and on
top their firefox52 package to spot the release where it begins to
fail.
This is the result:

2022Q4 -> crashes
2022Q3 -> untested
2022Q2 -> untested
2022Q1 -> crashes
2021Q4 -> crashes
2021Q3 -> working
2021Q2 -> untested
2021Q1 -> working
2020Q4 -> working

It seems the failure got introduced between 2021Q3 and 2021Q4.
But i cant really spot a difference between firefox52 pkgrevision 39
of 2021Q3 and pkgrevision 41 of 2021Q4.

So i suspect the dependencies of firefox52 to possibly be the cause if
no one else has a better idea.
I will begin to downgrade the dependencies in 2021Q4 to those of
2021Q3 and test if a certain change makes firefox52 working again.
