Gentlemen, do you realize, building Firefox on FreeBSD today one has

What's wrong with the binaries provided by the base OS?.. Yours,
See https://wiki.freebsd.org/WhyDoIHaveToBuildLLVMWhenIAlreadyHaveClangInstalled
Don't know about the video-drivers, but Firefox will happily build with
llvm60, llvm70, and llvm80 -- for all the alleged "instability",
evidently, the version is not a problem.
Maybe add "www/firefox needs libclang.so since 56.0
Looking at my currently running firefox with lsof, I do not see libclang
being used. Indeed, the library is not used at all on my machine: "lsof
| grep libclang" yields nothing...
and llvm-objdump since 67.0" if you have wiki account.
I suspect, it is possible to remove this requirement with a small patch
-- I can't see, what good llvm-objdump could do to the vast majority of
users. And if it does something good, llvm-objdump is already part of
base (at least, on this 12.0-STABLE laptop I'm trying to dress up)...
Yours,
