When using firefox from a pkgsrc completely compiled with clang from
the NetBSD base system as of April 8, firefox has the following problems:

1. the search box doesn't work
I can type stuff there, but when I press enter or click the 'search' icon,
nothing happens

2. some plugins don't work (in my case Selfdestructing Cookies and
Ghostery).
During startup, firefox reports:
Bootstrap error: Boolean is not defined

The whole paragraph twice, once for each of the two plugins.

For both problem, starting without a .mozilla directory doesn't
change anything, the problems happen anyway.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build firefox with clang from the NetBSD base system.
It didn't happen in February, but I'm not sure when in March
it started happening.
>Fix:
Using gcc to compile firefox makes the problems disappear.
But that's a workaround...

 I don't believe this is a problem any more (I've used
 firefox-compiled clang to browse this PR, although not
 the same specifi addons)

 ok to close?
