Unable to install Firefox from ports

Hey guys, happy holidays! By the way I was trying to install Firefox from ports. I had some issues which I was able to figure out and I'm almost there. Unfortunately, there's one problem which I'm having a hard time figuring out. I've tried Googling it but to no avail. Right now this is what I'm getting on my screen when trying to install Firefox.

Code: 
DEBUG: Executing: `rustup which cargo`
DEBUG: The command returned non-zero exit status -11.
ERROR: Command `rustup which cargo` failed with exit status -11.
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to gecko@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/www/firefox/work/.build/config.log" including the output of the
failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an
overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a
/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -g -Ea).
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /usr/ports/www/firefox
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/www/firefox
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/www/firefox

I'm trying to install Firefox on:

Code: 
uname -a
FreeBSD cornibus 12.0-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10 r352547 CORNIBUS  amd64

Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
 
lang/rust is I believe up to date. Right now it's in version 1.40.0. This system updates everything automatically (ports, src & pkg) on a daily basis. And my /etc/make.conf file empty, as always.
 
Weird, I compiled FireFox yesterday without any issues at all apart from the time it takes.

Code: 
FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE #2 r351730: Tue Sep  3 22:03:34 AEST 2019

rust-1.40.0                    Language with a focus on memory safety and concurrency
rust-cbindgen-0.12.0_1         Generate C bindings from Rust code
firefox-71.0_6,1               Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla

Maybe run pkg check -d and see if any dependencies are awol.
 
Yes, I have the same. I noticed yesterday it was out of date on my systems and started a new build run. It builds just fine. So I suspect it's one of its many dependencies that's causing it.

I can't really recommend doing this. Especially not building from ports, a lot of times ports need to be built/updated in a specific order. If you want to automate port building look into ports-mgmt/poudriere or ports-mgmt/synth, those don't have this issue as each port is build in a clean environment. Added bonus, you have everything you need to host your own repositories.

This system has been running like this for the longest time, so far I'm not having any problem with regards to system update. But I will keep that in mind. Thank you!
 
Can you post the config lines that contain:
Code: 
checking for rustc... XXX
checking for cargo... XXX
 
You will likely be successful with firefox-esr. Firefox like llvm80 can be difficult to install via ports. That's why using Poudriere and the likes are recommended.
 
I've been using ports-mgmt/portupgrade for ... forever, and the only issues I've run into are the Python ones where a dependency wants 2.7 and something later then wants 3.x.

There was another Firefox update yesterday which again compiled with no issues.
