Description
We should assess the user basis of firefox-x11 and remove the port, as it is highly outdated, unmaintained, a potential security risk for users and depends on deprecated software like gnome-vfs, if built using the gnome variant.
People are most likely using the official, maintained and recent Cocoa Firefox version provided by Mozilla.

Replying to egall@…:
As with thunderbird-x11, I'd like to keep it on the condition that it gets updated.
If you want to keep it around so badly… well, patches welcome. I doubt anyone else wants to bother.

Deleted in r115717. If somebody wants to update this and has a patch, we can easily re-add the ports.
