Solved No firefox package?

pkg install firefox
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'firefox' have been found in the repositories

No problems with other packages. Is there really no firefox package?
pkg search gives only:

firefox-esr-68.4.0,1

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/ ... no firefox package on the server, only firefox-esr.

In the meantime clear. https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds/default:default:120amd64:521971:beefy6#new_failed ... build failed.

But I don't understand why. I could built it with ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/poudriere without problems.

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/ ... no firefox package on the server, only firefox-esr.

That now shows Firefox 72 - but I still can't get it.
I presume it takes a day or so for the repository mirrors (or whatever they're called) to reflect the change.

Please correct me if I'm wrong - but although Firefox 72 shows in a pkg search, downloading it gives an unworkable Firefox with a segmentation error.
It seem to me that you have to go back and upgrade everything (700 odd packages) for it to work. Takes a long time, so if you have a slow connection, wait until you get better advice.
The good thing is that it does work - and no spooky faults so far.
Great desktop though - very quick on this rusty old processor.

Firefox 72.0.1_1,1 works till now without any problem.
