User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040930

Currently, there are no Mozilla builds for FreeBSD.
When you visit www.mozilla.org, the green box with an arrow doesn't say for
Mozilla for FreeBSD. If you click on the download link, you'll see that there
are no contributed Mozilla builds for FreeBSD. I would like to contribute
Mozilla and Firefox builds for FreeBSD. Please tell me with which options I
should compile them to make them official builds (if possible). I'm wondering
why Mozilla.org doesn't include Yahoo! and Google Groups on the source code.
That would be useful.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. There are no Mozilla nor Firefox builds for FreeBSD.
2. I'm going to create Mozilla (English version) binary packages for FreeBSD.
3. I would like to make my builds official (if possible)

Actual Results:  
N/A

Expected Results:  
N/A

I was wondering if, after compiling Mozilla, you would host my Mozilla builds
and its dependencies on your server. I guess you wouldn't. I'm saying this to
give the possibily of installing Mozilla on FreeBSD from the command line by
creating a package site (mozilla builds and its dependencies only).
I'm also willing to contribute Mozilla/FreeBSD-specific documentation. 
Please tell me what you think.
If you haven't already read this http://www.mozilla.org/build/distribution.html
I think you should :). 

It describes the process of Building A Mozilla Distribution.
Please read http://www.mozilla.org/build/distribution.html. If you would like to
compile builds for FreeBSD and email ftp-stage@mozilla.org a URL when I can
download them, they can be hosted on the FTP site. 

-> wontfix, not a staging issue

Thanks!

Ooops,... Yeah, I didn't read that.
Some weeks ago I built Firefox, Thunderbird and Mozilla packages for FreeBSD and
sent an email to ftp-stage@mozilla.org :)
