Can't install Firefox 3.5.6 from the ports collection.

After scanning the ports collention with pkgdb -F and then running portupgrade -a, I still cannot install the latest version of the Firefox web browser. Instead I get 3.5.4. I install from www/firefox35.
What is wrong?

Thanks in advance/
Lasse.
 
Check and verify the port's Makefile. They're really not that hard to understand ;)
Usually you can easily spot the version numbers. Verify this with the freshports or fbsd site. That's usually how I do it.
 
firefox3-devel didn't work for me yesterday. Installed fine, ran fine once, and after that the start scripts started throwing errors or couldn't find eachother.
 
@Dutch: Sweeeeeeet! thank you...I had missed that. May have to go around fixing some stuff now.

I was actually going to be surprised if 3.5.6 was in the ports, but the makefile should atleast be at 3.5.5, didnt think about running devel, Guess Im too lazy to spend 30 minutes rebuilding Firefox every incremental update.

Myself I do as SirDice, on every port anymore, doesnt hurt to give things a look over.

Typically also run:
Code: 
make config
first, after navigating to the port directory.
 
Actually, 3.5.6 is in the ports, I built it yesterday.

Code: 
[CMD="$"]grep "DISTVERSION" /usr/ports/www/firefox35/Makefile | head -1[/CMD]
DISTVERSION=    3.5.6
