Hi John,

you got it wrong - i built both firefox52s in NetBSD 9.3... it crashes
with the pkgsrc-2022Q4 base and does not crash with a pkgsrc-2020Q4.
I used the pkg from zia just as a reference test and this one fails
also with a base of 2022Q4.

If time permits, i will be doing a debug build until the end of the
week as Martin described to hopefully get a hint.

Regards,
Connor
