Solved after pkg update today, firefox segfaults when saving files.

Same with another browser libxul-based.

Five of so lib* packages were upgraded, but unfortunately I did not note which ones.
before the process.
[ 12.1 amd64 STABLE ]

This makes it hard to do taxes, and other
daily shall-dos if PDF's and the like cannot be obtained...
that is, downloaded...

attempted to restore yesterday's firefox files.
this resulted in the segfault being a bus fault, mostly, same problem.

/edit/
otter-browser can suffice for shall-do backups... for now..

Thanks. That saves me a lot of worrying...

Rebuilt cairo. Firefox again saves files.
Seamonkey, however, still freezes while trying to and needs to be closed...
THEN
....................................................................
So I deleted some gvfs-* dbus-* gconfd-root orbit-root files from /tmp
...................................................................
seamonkey again works!!!
