thanks,fwiw, this pending port isnt ignored, it's just that ppl have many things flying around, but hopefully it'll get reviewed in the coming days. being proactive about pending patches is nice, you can also check that it builds with ports-llvm 22, since i'm about to switch the wasi stack over for 22 and the mozs will follow.

I appreciate it, thank you. Indeed, I'm aware that OpenBSD is a volunteer project with a heavy maintenance burden, especially in the ports tree. I come bearing zero entitlements, and I'm honoured simply to be acknowledged in this way.
I generally assume that whatever works for www/mozilla-firefox will also work for www/librewolf, since the codebase is very similar. Your patching touches Firefox in areas that LibreWolf does not modify, that also are not touched by other areas which LibreWolf modifies. In other words, I believe your change will work in LibreWolf.
The way I maintain LibreWolf is by treating your Firefox port as its upstream, adapting any all changes after you do, but on top of the LibreWolf tarballs instead. In this way, I maintain sync with your own efforts. This mirrors LibreWolf's own efforts with regard to Firefox, as their main priority is only to harden Firefox and not diverge too deeply from it.
When www/mozilla-firefox changes, www/librewolf will maintain in the same way. In so doing, we ensure that the only difference between these two ports are those changes which LibreWolf itself makes on top of Firefox. There are one or two minor exceptions, such as my patching of LibreWolf's build system which differs from Firefox (use of mozconfig which does not exist in Firefox). So the port logic is semantically equivalent, but not literally.
